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?

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?

Re: Feeding
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.

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.
