    new retic owner!Is it to soon to feed him

    I just got my beautiful male normal retic from Bob Clark, I'm in love!I tried to offer food to hi but he showed no interest, is it just to soon, I only got him today. Should I wait like a ball python?

    Most of my retics are fed within about 24 hours of receiving them, and they take food nearly immediately at that. Give it a day to settle, hands off, and in good QT practice. After that, offer a smaller sized meal, and work your way up - Bob likes to feed them light when he's trying to sell them, so don't start with too large of a meal

    Retics are my passion. Just ask.

    Thank you, he just gave me the exact advice!I offered within two hours of getting him it was probably to much excitement for one day.I am leaving him alone today, I had to get some play time yesterday, he is a little sweetheart!
