Welcome to the group first off .Well i have a baby Childrens python also so i might be able to assist you here some.When you brought it home did you leave it totaly alone for 1 week? This means no handleing or anything other then giving it fresh water.When you have a snake moved from one home to another it places stress on them.Everything is new and they need time alone to settle in.The switching from frozen thawed to live and back is not helping him either.I suggest you leave him alone for a full week and try to feed him,if he does not eat within a hour take the rodent out.Keep us posted on his progress.
