Just got an albino California King snake three days ago. We set up his tank with a uth and ceramic overhead heart lamp on one side and a watering hole with a dayblue lamp overhead on the other end. Plenty of housing and climbing spots, he seems to enjoy basking at the highest point, even during the day. But, when we got him, they couldn't tell us when he'd last been fed, so we tried last night and today, but he seems skiddish, just runs away as soon as we open the lid. Not sure if i should be concerned, or if anyone had any tips to help him eat? Also, they popped him to sex him in the store (he seems very young, not really thicker than a pencil in the middle), and he still is bleeding a bit. We've done a lot of research on Hannibal,but there are a few details in hoping you all could help with.
