I wouldnt leave an all glass viv exposed on all sides... I wouldnt like having to live like that, and I've got no natural predators... |

if he's going behind the background, thats where he feels safest, i would recommend adding more hiding places, even if its only empty bog roll tubes |

Think a snake would feel very exposed if in glass/plastic viv with no background but open on all sides. Would need background at least on outside of back glass and even maybe side glass. If it is wood viv then dont think background necessary, wood is nice to see with whatever else decorates the viv.
Sort out your background - ie get it out of viv and stick up. Then leave snake for at least a week to settle in, only putting your hand in daily to change water, smooth substrate etc. That way it gets used to your smell. After week try feed again. Wont harm it waiting. You should have been given this advice from shop.
Any pic of viv so we can see what set-up you have? xxx |

you'd leave a glass viv/plastic faun exposed on all 4 sides? sorry, how on earth does that benefit your snake?? |

and let it potentially get stuck/injured? best off sorting the enclosure then leaving it a week........... |

You need to give it at least a week to settle in. Leave it alone for now and let it settle in and suss its new surroundings |

what set-up have you got that he can get behind the background?
it's much easier to put paper/card/aquarium background on the outside of a faun/glass viv.......... |

i would get it out from the background and make sure it cant get back there and dont use tape to secure it,gie it a couple more days to settle then feed it,how old is it? |
