Cleo - my first snake

[Shayne]

I will try again in a few days.

Does the time of day have any effect on their eating tendencies?

Absolutely. Always feed at night. They're nocturnal and that's when the feeding response kicks in. I have one that hasn't eaten in 2 months and what I do is attempt a feed, no strike, then wait another week to try again.

Sounds like Cleo is in great hands. Good luck and keep us posted.
