Hi! My new ball python was a great eater (f/t) at his last home, but I think he's still shy with me - he showed some interest but turned down a meal last night even when left in the cage with it for an hour, so I'm going to try again this evening and, if he doesn't take, wait until next week.

Last night, he only barely poked his head out of the hide before retreating back in. Should I be lifting the hide off him?
