Alright well a few more notes on myself. 1) I got him 8 days ago, tried feeding, and wasn't quite interested yet. 2) He just started going into a shed (I was getting upset saturday when he just wasn't looking as pretty but then yesterday I saw him with his glazed over eyes and very ghostly brown skin, and said AHA!). Do you think he's going to want to eat since he's shedding? He was very grumpy yesterday during the day when I wanted to handle him, he hissed at me when I tried taking him out of his cool-side-hide. I let him be, don't want an angry python. Anyway, when should I try to feed him next? Also, what's consensus, do I do the dangle method? or do I just drop in his dead food and leave it there? Another question, how long do I go until I say screw it and drop in the live mouse? I really don't want to, but how long until I might start endangering his wellbeing? Thanks for all the help and support!
