He came out, very inquisitive and didn’t seem interested, until he coiled up and WHAM! Done deal! Scared the 💩 out of me! So fingers crossed, we’ll do the same thing next week or so.

thanks again for your help! Loved to hair dryer recommendation!

Congratulations! You're very welcome! And now you know he won't insist on mice only, as some BPs do, as long as they're prepared & offered correctly. It's a GREAT feeling when you get this right, eh? :dance::dance::dance: Snakes are fun to feed, & yeah, they sure can make you jump! :rofl: Just tell your wife that your snake only likes rats with stylish hair-dos...:D

:gj: You nailed it again! Must be a holiday...? Good snake! He's got the hang of it- you taught him well. :D

My bp is SOOO picky that he won't eat if his food is wet... He's a diva when it comes to mess and some other things. He won't even go anywhere near his feces when he goes to the bathroom, which I'm not complaining about that... :rolleyes:

Your snake is adorable, and I'm sure your snake also enjoyed that tasty meal! :D
I'm so glad you got him to eat! The process and struggle of getting them to eat is very rewarding once they do.

Just let the food thaw naturally in the room where the snake is kept .. the aroma will get his attention THEN when thawed you give the rats head a good blast with a hairdryer ( plugged in next to the viv) then offer the rat instantly whilst still WARM !!

Don’t blink !!
