    I do the same thing lol.

    Also try to make the prey warm when you're offering it as they can be uninterested if they don't detect enough heat. I blast my thawed mice with a hairdryer on hot for about 10-20 seconds before offering and if the snake refuses I re-warm the mouse with the hairdryer and try again. Some people have also recommended just leaving the mouse outside the hide for a few hours and coming back later since some BPs are too nervous to eat when you're there.
