i'm not trying to be cheeky
please try and stop worrying and let the chondro settle in they are imo a lot more sensitive than carpets pythons
leave it alone in the quietest place in your house.
only go near the gtp when it's 100% neccessary
only change its water and mist
what are your temperature's ?
they are completely different in nature and temprement to corn's they are far more easily stressed out
give it 10 to 14 days of only going near it for the neccessary husbandry then offer food
heat the food up really hot with a hair dryer especially the head
if this fails try 1 more time after braining the prey item.you need to puncture the skull 2 or 3 times until grey brain matter comes out the puncture holes
give the food another heat especially the head and puncture holes and offer again
if the snake appears nervous of the food only offer the once then leave 7 days and try with a brained prey item
i hope it feeds soon for you
don't worry too much i've had carpet python hatchlings NOT eat until 10 months old with no ill effect
what age is your gtp ?
cheers shaun
