    Re: All Reptile Shops in Area Out of Live Rats, Snake Won't Eat Frozen, Help!

    Thank you so much! Will do that next time instead. I did shake it near him for a good couple minutes to get him interested but he didn’t show any interest at all.

    The movement has to be subtle or it will scare the snake, lol. And rodents don't volunteer to be eaten in the wild either, so don't make it appear that the rodent is approaching the snake. Make it seem like the rodent is just cluelessly strolling too close to where the snake is hiding -so the snake notices & gets the scent & warmth- but without going toward the snake. Go past & slightly away to elicit a slight chase, & so the snake feels brave.
