    Should I offer a hopper yet?
    Ok so I picked up this little girl yesterday and was wondering if it would be too early to offer her food? I know some people say that they will wait around a week to let them get comfortable but shes been very laid back from the get go and this morning she was just hanging out with her but in the water dish just relaxing and not curled up away in her hide or trying to escape like some baby balls ive had in the past. Well let me know if you think I should give her some food! Thanks:):):snake:

    You can go ahead and try to offer the snake the hopper. When I got my new little girl I offered her food after her second day with me and she ate just fine. Some snakes will accept food and others need more time. All snakes are different.

    Almost every snake I own ate right away the same night they arrived. There is nothing wrong with offering if your husbandry is correct and you monitor the feeding.
