    I haven't noticed a difference based on the time of day.

    Are you feeding live? because if so walking away at all is very dangerous.

    I don't own carpets, I could be wrong about this.
    I believe that JCP eat birds as their natural prey, I have friends that start them on quail hatchlings and change them over to rodents as they mature.

    General python feeding help, works wonders on problem feeders:

    1) Feed in cage, leave the cage undisturbed before feeding

    2) Feed a half hour after lights out

    3) If you can start an animal on rats that will eat rats as an adult, do it.

    4) Warm up F/T feeders to body temperature. Pythons make very good use of their heat pits when determining whether or not something is prey.

    5) Use long tongs (I like 9''ers, but 6''ers will do), it separates your giant heat signature from the small feeder heat signature

    6) With reluctant feeders that look interested but don't strike, sometimes leaving the feeder in the cage after they begin eyeballing it can do the trick.

    7) These are ambush predators. Let them ambush from their hiding spots They will feel more confident if they think they aren't seen by the 'prey'

    Do you have some type of branch or perch in the enclosure for her to climb on?
