And yes, he'll be OK without food for another week...it's actually PREFERABLE that you do NOT feed a snake you just got, especially one that was shipped to
you, as it takes some time for them to de-stress. If fed too soon, many will regurgitate their meal & that is a further set-back that you don't need or want.
Most important is to get a thermostat hooked up & let him settle in with the right conditions in his cage. Do NOT handle him (for best results) until he has fed
at regular intervals for you for 3 times. It's best to allow new snakes to settle in for several weeks...their food drive is MOST important, it's not fun if they start
refusing to eat, and handling them can do just that...interfere with their instincts about feeding.
Also, for best success, feed exactly what he was fed before, & if you don't know, now is the time to ask the seller. Welcome, by the way....
