Central florida red corn/rat snake

[Arachnaeoccult]

This snake, caught yesterday after some people cut down trees from my yard was found trapped in an empty trash bin. Since he was a corn snake and I've been wanting a snake for a while, and he's cute and healthy looking I figured I'd take him in. Today I tried feeding him with a dethawed frozen fluffy. He took the meal half into his mouth and decided he didn't want it. While many people suggest to put him back I disagree. if the snake was hopeless he wouldn't have snagged onto the meal on the first try.


I've refrozen the fuzzy but theres another in the package fresh.

The local pet retailer said give him a week to settle in since he just got he's newly captive.
