See it's a new snake...just have had it a week now...tried feeding as soon as we got it home as it was the original scheduled day for it to eat...didnt take which I'm not surprised...the snake hasn't eaten its first meal with me yet...it's only been a week since it's ate last...it's still getting acclimated...read the very top of my original post and you'll understand all what I mean:-) I'm in a weird spot with it right now
