Answers:
Ball pythons have evolved to eat warm blooded prey almost exclusively, particularly rodents and to a lesser extent birds.
I doubt your BP would be even remotely interested in eating a frog and wouldn't recognize it as a prey item because of its
1. lower body temperature
2. foreign odor not reminiscent of mice
With all snakes of the boas, pythons, and constictors, they can be fed something that he will eat, as long it not any bigger than the biggest part of his body. You could try it, but if you do you might want it to dead, as with mice and rats, so that the snake won't become injured. If he doesn't eat it than you can take it out and give it the mice. If he doesn't eat that then he probably isn't hungry, if he does eat the mice after not eating the frog, then he must not like it. You could try also asking the pet store. If you do feed it to him make sure it isn't sick.

Good Luck
HE CAN BUT I WOULDNT RECOMEND IT FROGS CAN BE SICK AND YOU WOULDNT EVEN KNOW AND THEN BYEBYE MR SNAKE. I WOULD STICK WITH MICE FROM THE PET STORE
ball pythons do not eat frogs..stick with mice
Might be difficult..I'd say #1. Can eat but I doubt he will. He's gotten to like that warm-blooded stuff. Stick to the mice, he'll be happier!
sure as long he not to big for him
yes and yes
Stick with mice.
I agree with Terry R, Stick with mice.
If he's been eating mice all his life then he probably wont eat a frog. Why do u want to feed him a frog anyway?

The natural diet of a ball python in the wild consists of amphibians, rodents, and birds. I have been feeding mine tiger salamanders and mice his whole life!! He LOVES IT!!
