I had my guy 2 month hatchlin in a 50 gallon takn with sliding doors to start and he refused feeding to start, so I replaced the tank with a 2'x2' pvc cage and loaded it up with hides so he'd feel secure and after letting him sit for another week did the trick for me. He's killed 2 rat pups for me now in a 7 day span. The 2x2 cage is still pretty big, but its a black PVC box vs the open glass tank I had and the temps and humidity are much more consistent. I suppose every snake has his preferences.

I have to try and get him on F/T but he's still refusing them. I fed him a rat pup last Wednesday live and he smashed it no issue. This past Wednesday I offered a F/T rat pup as I have 15 in the freezer and he wouldn't touch it. Today I put live rat pup number 2 in and he smashed it again no issue.

I have had to teach myself to stay calm and not try to over do it because then I just stressed him out more. He even snapped at me at one point.

I understand what you're dealing with and all I could do was take it slow and give him what he wanted.....Time to get settled in a comfortable space, and live prey. I hope you get the little guy eating, he's a nice mojo
