Feeding

[Bogertophis]

Thanks Bogertophis!

I figured it was all the commotion with respect to moving and what not. So you recommend I wait two weeks until next feed attempt?

Yes, and preferably also wait until evening, when he looks receptive to feeding: Remember BPs are ambush-hunters, so many BPs will be peeking out of their hide in the evening hours, looking for a clueless rodent to "walk" within reach, when they're actually ready for a meal. Very few will accept food when they're "out in the open" (cruising their enclosure) so keep that in mind too.

Meanwhile, don't worry, snakes don't get such regular meals in the wild...he won't starve. Just wait for his confidence to return. Remember how good a snake's sense of smell is...he KNOWS he's now somewhere else, & doesn't understand what the heck just happened...I think that's why he's hesitating- he's just unsettled. This should pass, be patient.
