My bp is a pretty good eater, but sometimes is reticent, or sometimes completely refuses food that's offered.

I'll nonetheless leave f/t feeders in the tank with my snake that were refused initially, with varying success depending on the season.

This morning he ate a f/t rat after it sat around 10 hours in the tank (10:45 pm -> 9:30 a.m.) This is the longest time I've observed from offer to ingestion. I was literally walking to the tank to remove it when I noticed it gone.

What's the longest time you've observed a snake waiting to take a refused feeder left with it in the tank?
