I got my first baby BP Silvan (normal) three weeks ago from a pet shop here in town. I didn't do a ton of research before I got him but since then, you guys have been such a great help in making him happy! He's been just about all I've thought of these last few weeks! I love the little guy. I'm sure you guys know the feeling.

He refused to eat the first week I had him, but since then has eaten twice. Both times he ate the mouse (a hopper) backwards and it took him over a half hour each time to get it down. Just wondering: how long does it usually take your snakes to eat once they finally decide to go for it? Will he get better at eating as he gets older? It worries me that he can't find the head.
