    Have you tried rats, what is your feeding method?

    He may be intimidated by bigger prey.

    I am not sure what to advise I am not an expert on this.

    Have you tried letting the prey thaw in the same room as the snake (the larger prey) then blow drying the scent of the prey towards the cage then zombie dancing it?

    Is he intrigued by the rat or mouse? If so, you might want to slowly move it away from him while he's tracking it. You could also try leaving it in overnight.

    Just give him a week between attempts.
