One thing that bothers me is you keep bringing this up as if it is proof or something. I have noticed it at least 3 or 4 times in this thread. There are occasions where good feeding snakes will still eat if they are very sick. When I had my extremely sick snake, she ate all the way to death. The point when she couldn't strike at the mouse because her energy was gone, was when we knew it was over.
Even though she was sick and dying (nothing medically able to do) she ate fine. So, please stop saying that as if it's validating your point, because it is not.
