What can a Baby Ball Python eat besides mice?
Wow, I can’t believe some of these answers. First off, Ball Pythons will not eat bugs… ever. The pinky mouse is much too small, even for a new born Ball. Get at least a hopper. First off, though, find out what it was eating before you bought it. It may have been a captive hatched one that pet stores typically have and it may have never had a meal. If that’s the case, try a live mouse hopper or a rat pup. However, before you attempt to feed it you have to make sure the cage is set up correctly. They require a temperature gradient from 80-82 on the cool side to 90-92 on the warm side. This should be heated using an under tank heater (UTH) and a thermostat, or a light if you must, but never use a heat rock. Also, your snake should have two hides on each end of his enclosure. Another trick you can try for young snakes is to fill their enclosure with crumpled newspaper. This will provide a more secure environment for your snake. If everything is set up okay, then just leave it completely
