also try prescenting with the scent of the meal your feeding them. I use the bedding from my rat colony to precent the cages and while doing it i put the rats in a 6 qt or zip lock with some more bedding to make them smell exactly like the prescenting so what the snakes smell to entice them they are also eating.
A good way to tell if prescenting worked is if your snakes head is out of the hide and his tongue is going like crazy or if they are halfway out the hide in the kill mode.
But i would also recommend feeding in the tub/tank
thanks! I never fed any of my balls in the tub. I always took them out in fear of the old legend tale. If you feed in living quarters snake will snap and think you are food when you open up its bin.
ALL I HAVE IN THIS WORLD IS MY BALLS AND MY WORD. I WONT BREAK EM FOR NOBODY.
