Hi all,
I'm kind of in a dilemma, Let me start off by saying 6 days ago i purchased a 4 foot corn snake to accompany my other 4 ft corn snake and baby CBR.(NOT IN SAME TANK) I purchased him from a reputable pet store here in PA. They told me he feeds every Thursday on mice, they provided me with a feed record dating back to June of this year. So i tried feeding on its normal feed day and... no luck. A LOT of interest just no luck. First i tried a freshly killed mouse, did not work, then I tried a live mouse.. again no luck. SO i left the one dead mouse in his cage thinking maybe he was shy.. was still there in the morning.
Now the only reason I ask about this is because they have a 7 day warranty if they do not feed or something is wrong with them.(Death, Mites ect.) Now i really like this guy but im worried he wont adjust to his new environment.
I guess what im asking is, do you think i should play it on the safe side and return him to the store just in case he is indeed sick and not just nervous? Im stuck because I like him he is friendly and very "Tame". But at the same time, I do not want to see him starve to death, or as selfish as it sounds "waste money".
Please any input is welcome. I have till tomorrow to decide.
Thanks!
Josh
