First Meal!!!
My new ball python "marley" just took his first meal. I tried a couple days after I got him and he didn't take it. Probably my fault, should have gave him a few more days to settle in. But I tried again today and he took it. sorta disapointed though, I didn't get to see him feed. I tried with the tongs first and he wouldnt strike so I figured I'd put the rat on top of his hide and leave him. sure enough 10 minutes later I went back, no rat and marley's curled up in his hide. pretty lame thread, but I was excited.

Re: First Meal!!!
It's not a lame thread at all! I am happy to hear he took the rat, it is always veeery exciting to have them eat for you for the first time! I was ecstatic when my lil guy ate his first hopper with me ![Smile](https://ball-pythons.net/forums/images/smilies/happy.gif)

Re: First Meal!!!
YEA!!!!
Remember to not pick Marley up for 48 hours so he can digest his meal! Also, since Marley is brand new to you, I would leave him alone until 48 hours after his next meal; so, basically wait a week, feed him, wait 2 days then you can pick him up ![Good Job](https://ball-pythons.net/forums/images/smilies/th_fing02.gif)
In the meantime, change his bedding when needed and give fresh water daily and let that be the extent of your interaction!
Have we seen pictures of Marley?? If not, I guess we'll all have to wait too
