My snake didnt eat the first week i got it, I tried frozen thawed but the breeder said that it was being fed live. I tried about another half a week later with a live rat pup and went right for it. Then tried one more time with another f/t today and made sure it was nice and warm and just shook it lightly in front of him for a minute or two and he struck it. I am glad he ate f/t, just try and make your snake comfortable first. The first time i fed was in the enclosure and this time it was in a seperate box.
