I have recentley bought a corn snake it is about 2 years old ive had it a day now and ive handled it twice. It is due to be fed today so I defrosted a middle sized mouse and placed it in the vivarium I did not move the mouse to attrack a strike like advised not to do from the shop but it is still relluctant to feed. Also can you advise on the best time of day to feed it morning afternoon or evening.

Thanks..

heya and welcome

put him away and don't get him out till next saturdey!!!

allow him to settle in for a week without interacting with him (yes, a whole week!) regardless of when he is due his next feed, just change the water daily. this gives your snake time to get to know his new environment and get used to you being around and realise you're not a threat and not going to eat him.
after a week try a feed then don't handle him for a further 2 days to allow him to digest his meal, THEN you can begin handling him.
