Yea, if he doesnt' take the fuzzy this time, no biggie. Absolutely nothing to worry about at all.

Remember though, since you fed him in his cage this time, it is a different scenario than what he is used to.

It may even help to just keep feeding him the pinks the next few times, in his cage, for him to get used to being fed in his cage, if he is indeed stressed about the change of scenery in regards to feeding. Then, try a fuzzy.

Now remember, when you feed him, like Mike said, it is best to leave him alone. You would be surprised how good snakes can sense us watching them. Make it to where when you feed him, you won't be messing with him for a few days at least. Make the whole meal experience for him as stress free as possible.

And also, like I said, if he didn't take the fuzzy this time, no worries. Maybe just make plans the next time or after.

Heck, I have a pine snake that could eat the size of mouse I have been trying to give her, but she insists on eating smaller mice than what I thought she could eat. That AND she prefers for me to leave the room, so she gets fed last.

Snakes can be individuals when it comes to feeding time. It is all part of the fun of learning on getting to know your pet!
