young anaconda won't feed
Hey everyone. I recently purchased a young male green anaconda from backyard reptiles. Snake was gorgeous upon arrival (althought UPS did send it to the wrong house). When he arrived he was nearly 24in long, good girth and seemed in good spirits. He's a very calm and docile anaconda, never tried to nip me and always just curls up in my lap or around my arm when I take him out. I never expected him to be like this so early, I figured it would be 6 months to a year before it had any trust in me if ever. Anyway, its been about 4 weeks now and for about the last two weeks I have been presenting him with mice but he seems to have zero interest. I have tried one frozen adult mouse and 3 live mice. I have searched very hard locally for young chicks but they are just hard to come by. I have thought about trying a large goldfish but I have honestly never tried with any snake I have even owned (this is my first boa though) so I was holding off on that. Anyway all advice and input will be appreciated
