    If he ate last Wednesday then you can try tonight.
    I just fed him again last night. I will check on him again tomorrow

    Haha I wish it was that easy! This is my first snake so I have never been bitten. I have read it doesn't hurt? Just bleeds a lot.

    Not really, even from my bigger snakes. Have you ever been nipped by a very young puppy that still has its milk teeth? That's what a BP bite felt like to me the few times I was tagged.

    Thought I'd mention too that the prey item should be slightly bigger than the BP at the widest part... It should leave a small lump after he swallows. If what you are feeding is smaller than that, then you can feed 2 or up your schedule to 5 days until you order larger feeders.
    Currently keeping:
    1.0 BCA 1.0 BCI
    1.0 CA BCI 1.1 BCLs
    0.1 BRB 1.2 KSBs
    1.0 Carpet 0.5 BPs
    0.2 cresteds 1.2 gargs
    1.0 Leachie 0.0.1 BTS

    Ahhhh okay! I've been getting told to feed him mice the size of the girth. I will get bigger ones next time. Thank you!

    Ohh alright! That's not so bad then. Tomorrow, I will attempt to hold him!
