Thanks for the quick reply.
He's eating live mice. I've always been leery of putting a live rat in with my snakes. Even with my 7 ft Berm I pre-killed, and he hit really hard. I will try scenting with a mouse next time. Do most people just lay the f/t rat in the terrarium? I tried wiggling it around with some tongs and it just freaked the poor guy out.
