They'll usually take pinky heads/day old pinks/pinky parts etc. Unless you bought it from someone else that already had it feeding when they sent it to you (and even then, sometimes they go off feed due to shipping etc) you might have a pretty tall learning curve to overcome (assuming this is your first small arboreal hence the question that was asked).

It may require tease feeding/assist feeding etc to get it started. These are all things that are somewhat of an art (some people just have a knack for getting the small arboreals to eat).

If it doesn't readily accept pinky heads/day old pinks get in touch with whoever is mentoring you in keeping venomous snakes and ask them to show you how to tease feed the snake (it is tricky b/c if you tease too much you stress the snake out and lose progress).
