What bedding were you planning on switching to? I normally spot clean and change water for all my snakes 2 days before feeding so I give them plenty of time by themselves before I offer food. I use both paper towel and cocoblox for my snakes and I’ve also used unprinted newspaper in the past so use whats best and most comfortable for you

I agree with Snow Balls ^ ^ ^ You want your snake feeling safe (ie. no changes) & focused on hunger whenever you feed them, so right before a meal is not the time to make any changes, or handle.

I have only ever used a decent quality artificial grass for both my BP's and leopard geckos. Cur to size pieces so when I do a deeper clean, I can just roll up the dirty piece, clean as necessary and unroll the fresh, clean piece into place.
It's easy to clean as well. I have used a washing machine with it, but you do tend to fill the machine with little, loose bits of fake grass - I'll also use a hot shower and F10!
Easy to clean, quick to replace.
I'll probably forget by the time you've read this...

Re: Newbie That just needs some advice about how to progress with a stubborn eater
Hello, I'm back but don't worry I just wanna give you guys an update!
He has eaten for me 5 times now consistently after the 3d time I started with minimal handling and he's great and a very curious little guy. He has such a strong food response now. I always remove the water bowl the morning of the feeding and at night time he is ready and as soon as I let the mouse touch the floor of the enclosure he gets it. thanks again to everyone who helped me out. I'm gonna post pics after the next time I hold him.
