Feeding help and what I have tried so far???

yes, he will. you guys have the next 20+ years to get comfortable with one another; no need to rush.

Just to give you a good laugh at my expense. I had purchased 2 mice to feed Shiva. The first one I was getting ready to feed to her and it bit me and out of reaction I flopped it hard on the floor killing it. She refused to eat that one because it was dead already. Then offered her the live one and she gobbled it down. I will be using gloves or tongs from now on. LMAO.

oh jeeze i'm so sorry you got bit, and by the feeder no less! that's worse than any ball python bite for sure. it might be better the feeder got you first tho; i wouldn't want to give my snake an obviously aggressive live feeder. very interesting feeding tho, hahaha. at least she ate!

that's good to hear Shiva is adjusting well! my new addition just ate for the first time last wednesday.

Strange mice dont bite normally. My Asf's would take a chunk out of me if i tried to handle them though.. I move them bu their tail. Nasty things. Fyi the way I trained my snakes to eat fresh kill was by feeding a smaller live followed by a smaller fresh kill.
(The reason i choose smaller for that is so they are still hungry)
