It worked for one of my girls, stress from shipping upset the bacterial balance in her gut and she slowly ate less and less and less. Two weeks of baytril injections and she was eating like a pig.

After an attempted f/t feeding last night my snake decided to eat... Should I capitalize on it's feeding response and try to feed it again in a day or 2?

From what I understand, offering food too soon after a feeding attempt can cause stress for your snake, so it's best to wait until the next scheduled feeding day. I personally would wait 5-7 days before offering again. Keep in mind that the longer you wait, the more likely he is to be hungry when you offer next. This may have already been mentioned, but I probably wouldn't handle him for a while until he's eating more regularly.

Hope that helps :)
