Some snakes are just finiky eaters. I feed live but I have a female pinstripe that rarely eats for me. Ive tried mice, rats, asf's she eats about once a month. I figure shes a healthy weight so I dont worry about it. Snakes have been known to fast for months. I can usually get her to eat about once a month so thats what I stick with. I offer her every week but she rarely eats.
