This is what you need to do. 6 quart is perfect, put in a small hide over warm spot and try feeding once a week in the tub without disturbing the snake at all. I would feed her a live mouse hopper in the evening and you could leave it over night if needed as the hopper could never harm your snake. This snake needs security ESPECIALLY for its first meals. I have had hatchlings be nervous before, be patient. Once he feels secure then he will think about ambushing his prey![]()
