    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

My ball python was bitten by an African Soft Furred and now refuses to touch them. He ate one just fine, then he took the second and let go of it too quickly and it bit him several times. It was only a sub-adult and there were absolutly NO mark whatsoever on him. I looked him over and over again. I was only going to do frozen but I though breeding of a natural food source would be more economically efficient.. These are first snakes and I admit I made a BIG mistake.. Does anyone think he will eat again if I feed him frozen mice or regular rats instead? Maybe the smell is different? Please help..
 
I agree with James, leave him alone and try again next week. Some balls may not eat frozen no matter what you do to it. I have a few that will only eat live and one that will only eat mice! If you want to continue with live ASF's I would stun it before offering it to him. Seems a little mean but a quick blow to the head should keep it from biting your snake.
