G'day Stiffler

I have found that young pythons that are difficult feeders usually grow up to be awesome feeders, and all it takes is a little patience from you. This snake has fed for you so it will feed again. When i have young pythons that are difficult to feed i tap them along the side of their body with the mouse and they will usually constrict the mouse first and then bite it, once the mouse is in its coils. Keep offering her food in the enclosure that she previously ate in. Moving her into other containers to be fed at this early age may keep her from feeding. Also a lot of young carpets prefer to be up on branches so they can strike down on their prey.
