This is the time of year for new BP owners to pull out their hair.

Weigh the snake and if it looks good now and is not losing then be even more patient. Knowing the weight may help your peace of mind. Some seem not to eat for forever.



Second thought. If this is a young snake treat it like the most nervous corn you can imagine. Let it settle in with NO handling for a couple weeks to a month. Then try to feed it. DON'T try to feed it more than once a week. It will just pester it further from eating.

Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with the software.
