finally settling in/to feed or not to feed?
Got my first snake on Sunday and every night he comes out and frantically tries to get out. He usually comes out around 9:20 and by the time I wake up at 6am he's hiding again. He's never roaming about in the day. Only at night. Anyway It's a little over 10pm right now and he hasn't come out yet. Is this a sign of him finally getting comfortable? Also, I was going to try feeding him on Saturday but I'm not sure if I should give him another week to settle in some more. Thoughts?

Go for it...I normally feed on the first or second day I get a snake in. Most take it, some don't...and it's rare one will need an extended settling in period before feeding.

just got my first one about a month ago, and he did the same thing. I waited a week after getting him and tried feeding him he didnt eat it, so i waited 3 days and tried again, and he still wouldnt take it....3 days later tried again and he finally took it! now he has ate 4 times since i had him and he grabs it as soon as it goes in...good luck!
