I have had tongo for a week now he seems timid still, but when i first bought him home i fed him two fuzzes, I tried to feed him yesterday and just a moment ago and he is turning away. as my knowledge is not to good I'm not worried but wondering why he is turning down his dinner.
i have brained the fuzzes an left them in his rub and put a whore'n t-shirt to hide him from view as i was told this helps with the cent thing.

thanks Grant

Just leave it until the next feed is due, it will do no harm skipping a meal and presenting food too often may stress out your little snake.
