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

[Skyrivers]

Congrats on your bonding experience as well as a successful feeding. That approach is certainly unconventional, but apparently it worked in that situation.

If it were my snake, I would hold off on handling completely and offer food again in 5 days. But, there are many ways to move forward and you may be beat to find what works best for you and your snake.

Good luck, keep us posted!

Sure will. If he feeds again in 7 days I will breathe some what easier then. I also have my eye on a rack system that I think would be great. Shiva doesn't mind handling at all and she has adjusted well to her new home right away. She is younger by almost 5 months so her adjusting easier might be contributed to that. Happy Neo has eaten. Phu. Will take any advice anyone has to offer and want to learn as much as I can.
