I see your point on feeding a baby right away if they will eat and i've done it several times myself just to figure things out for myself instead of blindly following the rule of "let them settle for 1 to 2 weeks before feeding" that every pet store and most breeders say.

Where do you stand on if they don't eat right away though? Do you still suggest offering food daily or then wait and let them chill for a bit?

I ask because I've received some babies that are 100% good to go right out of the box, while others have been stressed/ wound up and really just refused for a while, but once the switch did flip they were worry free.

I realize my experience level pales in comparison to yours and Franks, but i've yet to see any rule/method/technique when keeping snakes thats fool-proof and guaranteed to work every time.
