Got both of my new corns(extreme okeetee and a goldust motley) from strange cargo on thursday its saturday now. the golddust is a hatchling he hasnt eaten yet just had his 1st shed and the okeetee hasnt been fed by me. my question is how long til i should offer them food and how long til they are aclimated
 
For the okeetee, You should wait at least 5 days befor handling/feeding the snake. So, maby next Thrudsay (23rd) would be fine to feed him. Snakes can go a pretty long time without food. So you shouldent worry.
As for the hatchling, I think its best if you feed it sooner, because its so small.
 
I agree with Abraham. I might try feeding the golddust this weekend. Don't freak out though if he doesn't eat. A reasonable size hatchling who just had his first shed isn't going to starve if he doesn't eat this weekend. If he refuses, wait until you feed the Okeetee on Tuesday to try again. I got a baby who had been being assist fed on mouse tails and she is doing fine, took her first meal with me a few days ago, had good weight & size & strength even before that meal.
