So my baby isn't eating. I've been reading up and trying various things, but I had some questions about the terminology that I've been seeing. What is a deli cup? Also, when I take him out to put him in a feeding container, how big should this container be and what should be in it besides the snake and whatever I'm trying to feed it? Substrate and a hiding place? Or nothing?
Also, is it possible that he is 10 days old and hasn't shed yet? He was moved around a lot in the beginning and I don't even know if until a few days ago he had a water dish big enough to fit in.
One last thing: what is the best way to 'tease' a snake?
Things I've tried so far:
live pinkie
f/t pinkie
brained pinkie
head
putting him in my hand, putting his head right near the pinkie head
putting him in a (somewhat large) tupperware shoebox with just him and the head
He's just way more interested in climbing around in his tank than anything having to do with a mouse.
Thanks so much. I'm a first-time owner but tried to read up as much as I could before asking questions, but I'm just not sure what some of the words mean. (And I love the pictures forum, y'all have beautiful snakes!)
