Sooo everyones gunna hate me for this but... 3 out of my 4 snakes eat like that. I just heat up the rat and lay it in the tub and they eat it just fine. My pastel girl is still on a feeding strike right now but once i break her she may get to this point too lol.

My cinny boy is actually kinda weird. If the f/t rat is above 93ish degrees then he will strike and constrict even though its just laying there. But if i only heat the rat to 80ish degrees he wont strike or constrict and will just go up to it and start eating it. For awhile i was using up my adult mice and was giving him 2. So by the time he finished the first, which was hot, the 2nd would only be 78degrees or so and he wouldnt strike and constrict. They can be sooo weird sometimes lmao...
