    Although not as common for young snakes to skip meals, it can happen. They seem to know what they are doing, assuming they are healthy otherwise, and husbandry is good.

    Beans didn't eat for a while if I recall, and might take some time, even if husbandry is good and he is healthy, for him to get a regular eating schedule.

    Are you still offering live and the same prey that worked the first time? Or are you trying to switch to F/T and/or a different prey item? Also, are you handling at all? Personally, I would be leaving Beans alone until he's taken 3 meals in a row, not total.

    Keep a close eye on Beans and keep us posted. If he continues to skip meals that are the same as he's been taking (prey and prey size and live vs. F/T), you might want to look closer.

    Good luck!
