I do agree with that, I think I said that. I might wait, oh an hour or so, hahahahahahahahahahaha.
Also this tells you a lot, if a new arrival feeds right off then stops, it indicates, not proves, that the animal had good husbandry and what it has now is not suitable.
In this case that it did not feed, indicates something is off from this point back. Shipping, previous husbandry, etc.

The fact that its only 12 inches, indicates it was not supported well.
The sad part is, the best recommendation is, have a vet do some stool samples. And a general physical. Why I say sad part is, the vet visit is normally many times the cost of the snake. Which prevents what is actually needed.
Simply put, Cal kings, are hardy and perform well in a range of husbandry and conditions. So when one is not feeding, or a problematic feeder, something is advanced and serious.
