Rex got ya huh? Feeding response or what? I've been gotten by boa's mostly. Sprocket got me once and drew some nice blood. It doesnt hurt or bleed for too long. Just long enough to make you wonder what happened.

I got bit by a garter snake once when I was about 5. To be honest, that's the only bite I've ever gotten. Startled the poo out of me, though.

Isn't Rex a baby? I dunno, 2 weeks seems a bit long for a juvenile to wait between feedings....

Try a 10-day feeding schedule and see how that works for you. He may be willing to go with that.
