    First feeding = Successful!

    A friend told me to wait another week before offering food but as of yesterday it would have been a week since he had a meal. I felt like he has become very comfortable already in his new home so I offered him a fresh killed small mouse and...HE TOOK IT! So happy and relieved!! After he took it he spit it out and I got worried but he must have not liked the way he grabbed it and snatched it back up!

    Congrats on your first successful feeding!

    Every snake is different, some will eat much sooner than others. I have had one eat the day it arrived (after being shipped from NH to WI ), and another that didn't feel comfortable eating until she had been with me 3-4 weeks.

    Such a good feeling! This was the thing I was worried about the most! Hopefully every feeding is this successful..I got a couple frozen too so we will see next week if he is interested in the f/t over the freshly killed.
