Contact the breeder that sold you the snake. Find out what it was being fed and how.
Also, did you give it time to settle in?
If you have been handling it daily, stop.
Leave it alone for a couple of days.
Provide water only.
Then try again this weekend and feed the same size and type of feeder the breeder was feeding and the same way.

Show a little patience with all your snakes. Give them time to settle in...Daytona was just 4 days ago. You are having the same "problem" with your cornsnake according to your post in the cornsnake forum. It's WAY too early to panic!

Wait about five more days. Then in evening put your Hoggy in a deli cup (I call it a 'cafeteria'!) and then put a pink in. Do it this way and not pink first - unless you remember to wash your hands - as you don't want to get bit.
Put the cafeteria in the warm area of the tank/whatever and leave until the next morning. If you're using a lamp as your heat source and not an undertank heater, get a red light for heating at night. If pink gone in the AM, GREAT! If not, try again in about another five days.
