The question is....was he aware he was buying a snake strait from the egg. I would never sell an animal that was not started to someone who never owned a snake before. If he was aware and accepted the animal knowingly. He can give it a few days untouched. Provide a nice tight hide box for him to settle in. Then offer it a small fuzzie mouse. I would reccomend placing it in his enclosure just as it is getting dark outside and leaving it alone untill morning. I have had hatchlings refuse food for almost 2 months and not shed either. All the other hatchlings in the clutch had there second shed. It eventualy shed and began eating very well. This has only happened twice for me in over 50 or so clutches.
