I ust got a new 07 bp. Ive had it for about a week. I cant get him to eat. Ive Tryed f/t live pre stunned. But Nothing. Ive never had a "just born" snake. When i got my 05 its was about a month old. Can someone give me some tips? Please

Was he feeding when you bought it? What were they feeding him? Have you tried live?

Has it shed yet? When did it hatch?What size prey are you offering? What is the setup you have it in?

Sorry for all the questions, but it could be a number of things.

I've had good luck with live mouse crawlers(eyes just starting to open and crawling around cage) with picky babies. They seem less intimidating to some hatchling bp's. But if the setup isn't right for a hatchling it won't eat either.

A week is not that long... Check your husbandry, make sure everything is within comfortable range, and then try again in a week or so.

Stress is a big factor for little ones, so just give it some time and some space, make sure to give it plenty of water, and then try.

You might also consider that maybe it isn't hungry yet. Has it shed yet? Has it absorbed all of the yolk yet?

Try a smaller live fuzzy. One that has just gotten the coat of hair but it's eyes are not opened yet. Don't dangle though. Place it in the cage next to the snake.
I had great luck with the 07 imports using this as a feeder.
