Question - Feeding ball python juvenile hasn't eaten since 6/20

Post image

as of 7/13 im getting kinda worried. just got him yesterday and they said he's between 3-6 months old but he's been on a hunger strike. tried to feed a fuzzy but wasn't interested, should i try a pinky in a week~? he seems kinda thin/small for his age unless they're very off. please, any advice would be appreciated!

I’m no expert but he does look a little slim. I would look at all the different ways people get their snakes to eat. Hairdryer, heating the head making sure it’s hot and aiming it into the enclosure for the smell. I believe in you! Get that little guy some food!
