Hey guys, new to the forum. I brought my blood home on Sunday and was told he was feeding every Wednesday w/ live rats. I attempted to feed him last night but he would only hammer the rat with his closed mouth, never an open strike and has now buried himself in the substrate. None of these behaviors are really concerning to me at this point because I am sure he is just not ready to eat and wants to be left alone. But I am curious to know if any of you have had the same issue when transferring a snake to the new home, and how long it took before they would eat.
I do plan on trying to to switch to f/t once feeding is established. Malakai is about 6 months (allegedly) and weighs 497 grams.
