    Congratulations! Now take it slow...don't be in any rush to handle this snake until AFTER he's eating regularly & without refusals for "a while". We normally say at least 3 meals, but this guy is so young, I'd recommend that you double it, because the breeder should have fed him 3 times ALSO, before allowing him to go to a new home. So pretend he's in "ICU" (intensive care unit) & I think he'll be fine. Hope so...

    I've both bred snakes & acquired some that others bred...some just take some extra "TLC" (ie. care) to thrive. Keep an eye on those temperatures, it matters a lot for ball pythons.
