Little Mojo hasn't eaten yet.

[200xth]

I'm just really nervous about feeding live, I've seen and heard horror stories of what a live mouse can do to a snake. When should I try to feed him next? A full week again?

He's young, so maybe in 4 or 5 days. Something like that. I don't think you'll need to wait a full week.

I wouldn't worry too much about the dangers. I know bad things can possibly happen, but that goes with everything in life. I don't think it's anything to stress over. There are millions of snakes being fed live every week without issue.

With a little effort you can reduce the dangers. Don't just drop the mouse in and walk away for 24 hours and you should be fine. Put him in, watch them for 15 to 30 minutes. If he hasn't done anything by then, remove the mouse. At the end of 30 minutes max you'll be fine, your snake will be fine, and hopefully he'll also have a mouse in his belly by then.
