My snake ate. I'm not sure if it matters, but I emailed the breeder to see what it was eating, and he said live pink rats. I tried those, and he ate it. I was trying to give him f/t mouse fuzzies. I guess he knows what he wants. I don't think I am impatient, the snake just looked thin to me, and I wanted to make sure it was ok. I am used to working with colubrids that get stubborn about eating. Thanks, Derek
