MY ball python sometimes has trouble eating would it be okay to help when he is eating

@vwjanonomous Well from your story if i put 2 and 2 together it seems your snake is sick because of the mites...check google for answers and treatment or simply go to a vet. Uhm if it eats after the mites are gone then that was your problem but if it still doesnt eat try feeding it something else...something smaller aswell. Keep me updated.

i got a ? to ask you all. I had bought a ball python about 3 weeks now and he/she has not eating anything since. I dont know if it is sick or something is wrong with it or what. I've tried numerous times to feed the snake but it does not eat, I've even tried leaving the snake and the pinky in the feeding bin over night and it didn't eat it.

Also another ? how do i get rid of mite's? because i bought the snake with mites from the pet shop not knowing until i got home.

@copburner I have been told that heat rocks are not a good choice for pythons. Stick with a heat pad.
