    If he ate last Wednesday then you can try tonight.

    I just fed him again last night. I will check on him again tomorrow

    Haha I wish it was that easy! This is my first snake so I have never been bitten. I have read it doesn't hurt? Just bleeds a lot.

    Not really, even from my bigger snakes. Have you ever been nipped by a very young puppy that still has its milk teeth? That's what a BP bite felt like to me the few times I was tagged.

    Thought I'd mention too that the prey item should be slightly bigger than the BP at the widest part... It should leave a small lump after he swallows. If what you are feeding is smaller than that, then you can feed 2 or up your schedule to 5 days until you order larger feeders.

    Ahhhh okay! I've been getting told to feed him mice the size of the girth. I will get bigger ones next time. Thank you!

    Ohh alright! That's not so bad then. Tomorrow, I will attempt to hold him!
