    He finally ate! Yay!!!

    The hatchling Carpet Python I got in a trade a few weeks ago that hadn't had its first meal finally ATE tonight. The guy that gave him to me brought me a mouse hopper and that did the trick. I am so excited and relieved

    Glad to hear! Make sure you keep offering the same food items for the next 3-4 feedings to get it feeding consistently, then move on to f/t, rats, asf, etc. . .

    Cheers

    I will. Thanks for all the advice about him

    Should I offer him another one in 5 days or earlier? Thanks again.

    Give it a good 5-7 days then offer again. Make sure that the snake is able to digest the prey before offering more.
