Ball python feeding question ? please helpp .?

A new snake needs a little time to settle in to a new home. Wait a couple of days and try to offer food again. It is good to know if your snake was being fed frozen/thawed, live or pre-killed rodents before you got it. Try to offer food at differant times of the day. Pet shops are not open 24/7 to be able to feed ball pythons at night. Give your snake the right temperatures to spur on it's appetite and, do not allow the feeding tank to become chilled. Sometimes you can get some rodent litter from the mice cage at a pet store. This litter has a strong rodent scent because the live mice are running around in it. Drop a little bit of this into the feeding container the next time you feed your snake. It has a tendency to increase the feeding response at times.
