    Good luck! Keep in mind a few tips for feeding:

    1) Wait a little while to let your snake settle in before offering food.. maybe a week. A scared snake won't eat.

    2) Feed at night. Give your snake 10 mins to a half hour of dark before trying to feed. Keep any lights you have to turn on for feeding purposes low. I use a dim flashlight when feeding at night is the trick.

    3) Feed WARM prey. They rely on their heat pits for hunting.

    4) Feed with tongs/hemostats. That way your giant heat signature isn't near their heat pits.
