I'm having trouble convincing my youngest snake to eat. I purchased a Dumeril's Boa in November at the NARBC show. She is active, healthy, and has a good grip.

She is housed in a Rubbermaid rack with lots of aspen bedding and a water dish. Hot side is 90-92 during the day, cool side hovers around 80.

So far I have tried live, pre-killed, and thawed rodents. I have tried rat pinks, mouse pinks, and mouse fuzzies. I've washed the rodent with soap, I've scented the rodents with tuna, I've even left them overnight in the tub. Nada. Nothing. No results.

The snake seems fine to me. I realize that it is January, which in DC is the coldest month next to February, and none of my snakes (except Burms) have eaten in three months. The majority of my snakes (I have 20) do not eat in the wintertime, but this is especially concerning to me because the snake is so young.

Ideas?
