Does this count as feeding?

Question

i tried feeding my baby ball python this afternoon and it seem like she didnt wanna eat it. and so i tired again like right now (nightime) and she was i guess didnt want to and so i pickd her up and handled her and put the food in front of her [face to face] and she opend her mouth and took the fuzzy and now she coiled her up. But does this count as feeding?

Answer 1

if she eats it (swallows it down & doesn't regurge) then it was a feeding.

Answer 2

It counts as feeding if she actually swallows down the prey and doesn't regurgitate it up at any time.

Answer 3

yes this counts as feeding as long as she swallowed the food and didn't regurgitate it. Ball pythons are notorious for being fussy eaters. One of my Balls refused to eat for 2 months and the other is now on his 3rd week of not eating. As long as they are healthy no signs of mites, runny faeces and shedding ok, then she should be ok if she missed the odd meal.
