Who was the dealer you got him from and what have they said?? This is an animal I really want to work with but I am going to hold out for a CB baby I can raise up myself. I have seen too many people posting about their fresh imports being amazing and then floundering over time.

I agree with the rest of the posters thoughts on hides, and comforting the animal with visual blocks. I would also suggest leaving food items in the cage without alerting the snake and allowing him to find it. Try introducing food in the early AM and again in the late afternoon.

Good Luck!

Jason
