I am no expert but I would soak any new w/c snakes of most any kind for at least a few hours. Let them drink and get rehydrated. This may not get them eatting but may save there lives. If they are well hydrated they can safely go without eatting for some time and it should also help lowwer there stress levels. Also I ahve heard of people having good luck using sport drinks or Pedialite. They have electrolites wich help hydrate. I know I have spelled some of this wrong like electrolites. Hopefully some one with more experience will read and correct me where I am wrong. Good luck!
