Excellent advice!! May I add that A inverted clay flower pot(9"sized pot unless the snake is huge) with a hole(about 4" in diameter) hammered out on the bottom of the pot(where the existing drain hole already is) and the edges smoothed with a file will work best for a hide . This way the prey cannot "walk" into the hide and the snake will actually pounce from above,this gives the snake a feeling of dominance over it's prey. This will greatly reduce the stress on the snake and will help get it back on feed faster than a hide that allows the prey to walk in and touch the snake thus stressing the snake out and making it reluctant to feed! Be patient, eventually you'll get results! Anthony McCain-McCain's Reptiles. www.regiusmorphs.com
