Hi everyone, We bought our son Harry his corn snake on Sunday. At the pet centre we were advised his feeding day was Monday. We fed him the two mice as advised on Monday evening and since then he has lay in his viv hiding, hardly moved.However as tomorrow is Thursday myself and my husband are frantic because it's been over 48 hours and all we want to do is play with him.ARGH!!!!. Is this normal? Sorry have no pics at moment but he is gorgeous..

Bad pet shop advice again! Should be left a week to settle in before any food is offered or handling, just regular water changes. Don't worry perfectly normal for them to hide away after feeding.
