That behavior is something mine does when he's hungry and he settles down to hide after feeding. I'm assuming they're just looking for food.

If he was fed live, he might not recognize the scent of the f/t mouse as food. My snake was only taking live, my f/t attempts would result in him being interested at first and then once he sniffed, he lost interest even when warmed up to 100F and doing a 'zombie' dance. And no luck with the scenting of chicken broth.

What worked for him was using some used mouse bedding in a ziploc bag to scent the f/t after it's warmed up. I shake the f/t around for a few seconds and then my snake will take it. He's consistently been taking it that way for the last 5 feedings.
