He finally ate! Yay!
I decided to try something different. Instead of moving him into the deli cup, which I thought might be stressing him out, I just left him in his regular enclosure, and put the pinkie right inside his favorite hide. He was out of his hide, cruising around, like he usually is in the evenings, so it wasn't like I dropped it right on top of the poor snake.
In the morning, he was back in the hide, and the pinkie was nowhere to be seen. The way he was coiled up, it was hard to be sure there was a lump in his belly, and I didn't want to disturb him. I can't imagine it went anywhere else though!
I'm SO happy!![]()
