Snake refuses to strike?

    I had one snake that used to strike and coil, but after a few months of eating f/t he just started swallowing it without doing anything else.

    The BP I have currently only eats if I leave the f/t mouse in the cage alone with it for like an hour with the towel on top. He takes no interest in it at all when I first put it in, and I've never actually seen him eat, but every wednesday night the mouse is gone :/

    Ah, so I'm not alone, that's good!

    He takes the mouse into his hide and then eats it.

    I'll try the zombie dance, and see what sort of reaction I'll get tonight.

    I'm actually super lucky with a non-picky eater that will strike quickly at anything live offered and chow down on a F/T if offered, no strike, no constricting, just straight on down the throat.
