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

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 :)

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.
