My hatchling is only 2 days old it has stuck at me a couple of times hasnt had its first feed yet but if its anything like the father it will strike no probs he has done this since a hatchling though the mother never has struck at anything.

a lot of snakes never bother really. seems they go "well its already dead...why use more energy striking at it?" llol

mont is super lazy when feeding..but hoping that one of my newbies will be a bit more proactive about it lol
but im hoping that mont will slowly pick up the art of striking.. he attempts to strike but its like he gives up half way lmao

when ever they feel like it i`d imagine, some may do it straight away, others may do it after a couple months
