    I've found that for first-time feedings, it is often necessary to feed in the enclosure. For some snakes handling helps, but in my experience I'd hold back on the handling until you get the snake to eat. That's just my personal experience though...Individual snakes vary and often require different methods. Good luck!

    Same here. And even my cbb and long term wc will sometimes freak out and run from something if I stick it in their face. I have much better luck putting food on a dish and either walking away or sitting very still a short distance away to observe.
