I would only add one thing I do seems to help with my fussy eater. I wear latex Gloves and scnet them with rat bedding before I feed. Once the little guys smells my gloves and the rat he goes nuts. I feed outside the enclosure mainly beacuse the wife is so against the snake being agressive. This is what the pet store guy told us and well my second snake is feeding in her enclosure so hopefully this will sway the wife for my sons snake.
