Hey, I have a newbie snake owner question. I've had my Diamond for a couple of weeks now, I've attempted to feed him a couple of times now, however I haven't had any success. I haven't handled him at all, only doing water changes every now and then. The conditions within his enclosure are optimal so I don't think that's the issue. The staff at the store I bought him from said they were feeding him fuzzies, so that's obviously what I've been trying to feed him. But I have my doubts, the mice they gave us were twice the width of thickest part of his body, is that too big? The food I offer is fully thawed and heated by putting the mouse in a zip-lock bag and submerging it in warm water, (just a precaution if he's fussy about wet prey). He looks interested in the mouse, he will put himself in a striking position and also put his head right up to it as if he's checking it out, but he won't take it. I feel as if he's not attempting to take it because he thinks it's too big for him to eat, but I haven't had enough experience to ultimately rule out the issue. Sorry for this insanely long post! Would be great if I could have some advice. Thanks!
