I think I got the message today. Nigel, my new olive python, had been pretty chill since he arrived on Wednesday. I knew he hadn't eaten in 10 days but I was waiting for my feeder order to arrive next week before attempting to feed him. That was until he snapped at the glass when I walked by today. I figured that was his way of saying, "feed me now human!". I found the smallest jumbo mouse in the freezer and thawed it for him. A few hours later and he's a happy camper again.
