You are completely right, I was saying "at least 48hours".
Now I will of course wait until he ate three consecutive meat. That way it will be safer for his future.
Appreciate all the tips love this forum so far

Sounds good!!! I know how tempting it is to want to spend time with your new pet, but you really need to resist. It's only a few weeks.
We're just looking out for you and your snake. We've seen about a billion and a half threads saying "my new BP won't eat" and find out the animal is stressed, often from handling.
Please feel free to ask any questions you may have, we're happy to help. We love these animals and want your first experience to be a positive one.

Looks like it should be good. Do you have a scale? Do you know the weight of your snake?
I ask because there's two basic rules of thumb for feeding juvenile BPs.
1) feed prey approx 10-15% of the snakes weight
2) feed prey items approx the same width as the snake at its widest point or a bit bigger
But jyst by looking at your pic you appear good to go. Just by what I see in the pic it's an adult mouse. So that's good. Lots of new keepers feed prey too small, but you seem to be all set!

Re: First BP
Alright, so the baby ate his second mice today.
I tried it at 5 days but he refused it and now at 7 days he took it
Not handled it a single time since you told me to not
