Hey, I'm very new to handling snakes so I decided to get a B.P. For my first snake.
Anyway, I THINK I got it from a good breeder cause My BP is very calm and docile. I started handling it since the second day and it seemed fine. Today, I tried to feed my snake a thawed frozen pinkie by shaking it in front of the snake. I really messed up... First, the snake DID strike a little but did not eat or even bite. Then She was like searching for a way to escape(Scanning the glass). It seemed she didn't have ANY kind of interest in the mouse. She stroke but missed for 3 times and then I accidentally dropped the mouse. Now she's not even looking at it. So I tool the mouse out.. I contacted a vet and he said it's because she's new to the environment. I'm not trying to doubt him(maybe I am) but is this simply the only reason why she doesn't eat? Oh and accidentally poked her very little bit and she pulled back REAL fast.. Did this make her very stressed? Also I know that I am a very unskilled owner. Any help would be Great~
