I have found the key to getting them to take the F/T is pre-scenting the room. The best way by far that I have experimented with is warming the prey up next to the cage with a hair dryer. 30 seconds per side. It drives my snakes crazy. I actually have to be careful as they are jumping out of the cage when I open it to get after the prey........
