2 month old ball python hatchling will not eat. I've tried hoppers, fuzzies, and pinky mice (all live) with no luck. Temperature, humidity, and habitat are all good. Other hatchlings from clutch are eating with no problem. Any ideas?

Have you tried leaving the dead rodent in over night with the snake? Sometimes even longer is necessary. Another classic trick is to put both your snake, and it's dead prey in a small snake back or hide box for 24hrs. Obviously have this container withen the cage at a good average temperature (not the cold side, nor the basking spot).
