Great eater refused meal after changing slots in the rack?

[Redneck_Crow]

I've had one snake in my time who wouldn't eat live. He had been on f/t a long time and I don't know if it was the movement or the different smell, but he would jerk away when the mouse came close to him.

I know that most of them aren't that way, and the rest of my f/t eaters acted like the occasional live prey was a special treat. My snakes didn't get live prey very often--only when a friend's colony had a population explosion and he was unloading his excess production for almost nothing. But when it happened, I still had to keep f/t for that one particular snake.

I think he was a sissy and afraid of live mice.
