I got my snake (yearling) on saturday and was told to feed him on monday as he is due a feed (I also have the feeding record)

Now after reading all the great advice on here I am tempted not to feed him for a full week to let him settle in to his new home! Is this the best thing to do or should I feed him like the reptile store told me to?

I have not handled him and wont for the first week, I can feed him in his viv as its on paper not substrate.

Thanks in advance

Aaah, that first week with a new corn snake is so hard. Not being able to handle them is rubbish Worth it to have a happy snake though.

Thanks for the prompt advice, I will leave the pinkie in the freezer and leave him alone all week.

I cant wait to photo him! lol

It wont do him any harm at all to wait the week

I'd leave him rather than feed him... Always best in the long run to skip a feed in order to let him get his bearings.

Grats on your new snakie :)
