Elaphe situla is a lizard eater. My suggestion to you is to purchase a feeder lizard (Anole or House Gecko) and offer this to your snake right away. If it is accepted, you can start scenting pinkies with one of these lizards and gradually switch to unscented. Most important at this point is to get a meal into it; purchase a feeder lizard right away. Don't bother even attempting feeding or force feeding arthropods (meal worms, crickets, etc.); this will do more harm than good.
