Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Again, The only thing I can do if read and talk to other people. Nobody becomes and expert overnight. And I don't appreciate being talked to like I'm not doing my best to learn and do the right thing.

One thing I learned VERY quickly in life is to never trust pet store workers. Most of them couldn't care less about you or your pet and don't know crap about exotics. You are seriously lucky those mice didn't gang up on your snake and kill him. Google rodent attacks on snakes- it ain't pretty. He's probably still not feeling well which is why he's not eating. You need to let him rest and get better before feeding him. He's probably also stressed. His enviornment has done a 360 overnight and he had two mice running around his cage for 3 days. I had a snake that went off feed for a week because I gave her a larger hide. Ball pythons are sensitive like that. As long as he's of good body weight he should be fine with some skipped meals.

Also, 2 mice aren't the same as a rat to the snake. I have a IJCP that won't touch rats but goes after mice immediately and a BP girl that has recently turned away from regular rats and now only want african soft furred rats. Welcome to the world of feeding snakes!
