Yea, snakes can and have starved themselves before. So that's a very broad statement. I got a hatchling that had only had one meal and it was a mouse hopper, then I offered it a rat pinkie the next day after I got it, it refused, but the spider I got with the black pastel ate while in shed the day after I got it. Then the next week my hatchling ate the f/t rat pink. I'd just try it in one go, just for size advice though how big is your BP?
