As far as his food refusal, keep in mind that snakes need water FAR MORE than food...I'm so glad that you got him to safety JUST IN TIME. I mean that...
I think he was so dehydrated that had he taken food when you offered, he's have regurgitated it anyway, or died trying to digest it. So go slow, when you
do offer him food in another week or so, make it smaller than what you'd normally feed...and if he refuses, you won't be wasting so much either. But it truly
may take some time for his digestion & his body to get up to speed, since he was without heat for who-knows-how-long? I think he'll do well with you if you
are patient.I wouldn't worry about the hiss...if I were in his scales, I'd likewise assume all humans are jerks.
He was miserable, that's all...but soon
he'll realize he is safe with you.
