I have a male ball python around 5 years old. He went on a feeding strike awhile ago. He will only eat live now. He comes with a 40 gallon tank which you can keep. It's 65 with or without the tank .. He's underweight due to his hunger strike but I feed him live now and his weight is coming back. He will attack a FT rat but will swallow half of it then spit it out or not interested at all. He swallows live easily but hard to find because pet stores are usually out or the size is way to big! Please don't message me pretending to be a rescue, I will not give you the snake for free, alot of animal hoarders want free pets. Sorry!
