I was wondering which species of snake feeds the best in your experiences. I am just curious.

Personally, I believe its not about species but the individual snake, My Pastel BP has not passes a meal for the entire year Ive had her, on the other hand my Pastave BP is just a picky eater and only will eat at night and once ever three or four feedings.
Others might have some better input but I believe all snakes can be good or bad eaters.

Only my boas never refuse food, even in shed.

King snakes are typically great feeders. Bull snakes seldom refuse a meal and will often eat straight out of the egg. Lots of fantastic eaters that are hard to stop once you get them over the hatchling hump and feeding on a desired prey type. Carpets, boas, garters, black-headed pythons, womas to name a few that seldom refuse meals once they get into the swing of things. I tried to search a picture I saw a while back of a snake actually eating a pinky while still in the egg but failed to find it. I'm pretty sure it was either pituophis or drymarchon.

Which species feeds the best? Not ball pythons lol. All species vary but from experience i can say my boas have no issues feeding.

My savu pythons have never skipped a meal. My BCI's and BRB's, retics, kings, garters, etc. will skip periodically - especially the males in breeding season - but never the savu's. They go from zero to FOOD faster than anything I own, including the retics.

My corn snake, never misses a meal, and my bps are both different. My male only fasted once for 8 weeks at 1050g, then went right back to his piggy ways. My female is a little pickier, won't touch a colored rat live or ft. I guess its all an indivigual thing.
