thinking about getting a ball pthon..............

I have 2 tortoises and a bearded dragon and now I want a snake. I've been thinking about a ball python but the food thing is giving me second thoughts. Does EVERY ball python go threw a no eating stage?

Nearly all balls fast at one time or another. But, it's not stressful if you realize it's just part of their normal behavior pattern. They key is to get a healthy, captive bred, feeding speciimen to begin with. Then, just be sure and provide all basic husbandry requirements. Your ball will prob still go off feed - but it will eat again when it's ready.
