Feeding

I actually got frozen mice, I thawed it for an hour put a blow dryer under it and he actually snatched it, but now, he isn't eating it. He's just 'sniffing' at it and moving it around.. What's wrong and what should I do?

Reheat and attempt again.Try to make sure he gets a good head strike.

He still seems to be having trouble. Always striking but not eating. You think its too big? I don't have batteries for my camera right this second. Is it ok to wait till tmrw?

Rule of thumb is to make sure the prey is not bigger then the thickest part of the snake. Your snake could be a shy eater in that case, I would possibly try something a little bit smaller.

Nevermind, he ate it. Thanks everyone. :)

This may help you as it helped me in the past, my Anaconda at first was a shy eater, she would only eat if I would cover her tank, next time on feeding day, try to cover the tank with a shirt or something to make it dark, hopefully that helps.
