Hatchling Burmese help.

How old is the albino? Should it have had its first shed yet? If it's so young it hadn't shed yet it should never have been sold, or at least not to someone with no experience.

I would leave it alone in a proper setup for a week and see if it starts a shed cycle. Fortunately being albino you'll see the signs of shed, like pink belly, very easily.

When you do feed you may have to leave a live rat fuzzy or pup overnight with it. Those are too small to hurt the snake.

I have plenty of experience, I’ve been keeping snakes of various species for over 20 years. I’ve just never been in a situation where someone has sold me a snake that hasn’t had it’s first shed and first few meals. My fault for not asking the right questions from the seller this time around, and the sellers fault for being an irresponsible breeder.

The albino and the granite were both left alone for a full week when brought home, and offered their first meal after the week. I left the fuzzy in there with it for several hours after it showed no interest in the prey item when it was presented with tongs. It just struck at the prey item defensively.
