Hi guys
We got my daughter a baby stripped spotted python last weekend
We left him alone for a few days as they said and took him out for a play yesterday then tried to feed him last night,
He is a very very placid loveable thing and crawls all over my daughter and loves to rub against my pandora bracelet ... is that normal?
Main question is we tried to feed him last night and he would not have a bar of it, My daughter defrosted the mouse, heated it in warm water, patted it dry as we were told to do and nothing , he just stuck his nose up! We left mouse in there all night , made room dark as I read somewhere on here they like eating in dark, put mouse at entrance of his house but nothing?
Tried with the tongs a few times and then she tried by hand still nothing
I got the mouse today and tried to put it on his head and he striked a few times but nothing, put mouse on his body but he just slithered away and back into his house.
How do I feed him?
Also my daughter and the snake play for hours is this too much?
Maybe try leaving him alone for a couple days then try mouse again?
Could he be shedding?? No cloudy eyes or anything though.
Thank you for your help xx
