This is one of the many tricks that I have used to get stubborn non-eating Ball Pythons to eat. Get two brown paper bags, rodent food, stapler and a tupperware container. These are the ingredients ha ha ha !!! Put rodent food, followed by a rodent and your snake into the brown paper bag.The rodent food is so that the rodent does not chew on your snake. Rodents need to constantly chew due to the fact that their teeth are contantly growing.Close the bag and staple it shut.Place the bag into the very big tupperware container and close the lid on the tuppeware container.Set aside for 5-10 minutes and listen for your snake to prepare their take out dinner.I have had very huge success with this method to promote a eating response in some of my Ball Pythons. Once they have eaten, I take them out, and a week later feed them in their enclosure. Trust me this works!!!! After years of keeping Ball Pythons, I have found that this is a very simple way to get your Ball Python to eat. Of course this method is not 100% guranteed. The only close to 100% guranteed way to get a still healthy and not to far gone Ball Python to eat is to feed them African-Soft-Fur Rats, but that may have you feeding them ASFR or scenting other rodents with ASFR to get your snake to eat.
