Serpy, I battled with my one baby as well and its still not eating exactly the way I like, but at least I can get it to feed.First skip a week in which you make absolutely sure that you dont stress out the snake. Make sure your temperature is right. After a week isolate the copperhead with a live pinky overnight in a reasonably small container (preferably inside the cage otherwise it gets too cold). If that doesnt work try a brained pink the next evening thats been heated to about 38-40 degrees, and isolate the snake with it overnight. It works for me, so give it a try.
Murphy's law in Herping: "If the snake is within range, so are you"
