Ok, little back story. I got my snake last Sunday. Breeder told me he hasn't eaten in a week due to the show. He doesn't feed a week before the show. My mom wants to take me out shopping and there's an exotic pet shop in the area she wants to take me shopping. She suggested we go in a buy my snake's first rat.

Here's the question: What's the difference in waiting one(1) day and if there is no difference how do I get him to eat if he is hiding in his hide?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Sorry if they sound newbie as I still am a complete newb when it comes to owning snake(s).
