cheers shaun
yea, when i first got my dumerils the guy said he eats in a big cardboard box but he didnt seem to want to eat for 3-5 days. then i woke up one day and went, ehh ill drop it in his tank, and he IMMEDIATELY perked up and made all his movements super rigid and stiff, got a wiff and blam, lunch time. also it could have been him settling into the house move and my heat lamp and whatnot, he may have just needed to adjust.

Re: boa hissing at food

Most snakes do need time to adjust to new environments. With the exception of hatchlings, it is always good to give new snakes a week or so to adjust before offering food.
