Joe, not a month old neonate though?? I can't see a 30 day old snake that needs to be brumated bc he missed a couple of feedings. Maybe he's gonna shed, or is otherwise not interested in feeding or just isn't hungry. Also, it's highly unlikely that at one month of age he has the nutritional reserves for brumation. I think it's more important to make sure the young animal is hydrated with fresh water overall.
