I know this is kind of gross, but our snake, Lickity Split, ate for us for the first time today. We have heard that Ball Pythons can sometimes be hard to feed and they need to be comfortable and happy with their surroundings before they will eat. Well, he must be happy because when I dangled the little mouse in front of him he didn't hesitate to snatch it right up. He was quick! I'm glad I had some distance from his mouth thanks to some tongs, or he could have accidentally grabbed my fingers. As you can see in the pictures he is in a plastic container and the reasoning for that is so he knows when he is in that container he will get food. This will help keep us from getting bit when we stick our hands into his terrarium. He won't mistake our hand for lunch.
