    I usually wait 5-7 days after bringing in a new addition before trying to feed, but it's preference. I say waiting a week to let him settle into his new place with you and then starting to feed on a 2 week schedule would be fine. It's a lot easier to stress out balls than it is boas in my experience.

    Or wait just one week from the time you pick him up then start your two week schedule. I bet he'll eat no problem within the first week with being with you guys.
