1st time owner. Question about feeding.

[tttaylorrr]

I decided to leave the mouse in there with him. I checked on it a couple of times and nothing. I then left it alone for a while and he had mouse coiled.

Anyway, when would you recommend trying to feed again? And should I try anything different?

sorry for the long post, figured id include all of the details from start so I could get best possible suggestions.

wait until his next scheduled feeding to offer (so probably 7 days).

it seems like he was interested if he coiled around it, but he likely became spooked. next time, i'd do everything the same except, instead of trying to get him to strike, give the mouse a little dance in front of the hide and, if there's no strike within ~30 sec, leave the head really close to the hide's entrance, close the tub and walk away. check back in the morning.

you're still a good snake dad.
