    X2 feed in the enclosure. I had the same issues with my sons normal BP he rarely ate until we started feeding in his enclosure now he is a pig. I feed all my snakes in the enclosure and have never had an issue with it.

    Re: silly question

    Thanks for the responses guys. I will try feeding in the enclosure. Should i be concerned about possible mouse/rat feces in the enclosure? I am currently using repti bark and im not sure how easy it would be to pick it out.

    Mice/Rats don't really poop that much when your snake is dispatching them to their final resting place. If you see it in the bark, pick it out...otherwise, your normal routine cleaning will take care of it when you change out substrate.
