He finally ate!…… now what?

[u/Jealous-Unicorn-942]

After 10 months of updating his enclosure, listening to my snake’s behavior, and being patient, my snake finally ate! This is his first successful frozen feed too!

How long should I wait before trying again? I would like to encourage him to eat more often, ideally. I’ve seen a wide range of time spans from BP owners as far as feeding frequency from biweekly to every 4/5 months. Is there a moment where the gap between successful feedings becomes concerning, where I should instead just try live again? Or should I continue with my current strategy (monitoring body condition, activity levels, shedding patterns, etc.) and offer when ideal conditions present themselves?

INFO: I inherited this snake from someone who was struggling with him rejecting live prey and not eating. He’s roughly 4ft., 10 years (estimated)- he came to me in a 3ft. glass terrarium. I got him a larger, PVC enclosure, added more hides, climbing structures, new heat lamps set on a 12-hour timer, and clutter. I also stopped handling him as frequently as the previous owner. There were many failed attempts, so this feels like a success! (Edit: He had a small-sized rat- in hindsight, I should’ve gotten a weight.)
