Now trying to just lay the feeder in the cage I would leave it longer but still wouldn't leave it longer than 30 minutes.

I am not one that likes to waste a feeder so I try to leave them thawed for the shortest amount of time possible. If they refuse for 15 minutes mine don't get to eat. I'm lucky and my snakes feed great, so missing one meal here and there doesn't bother.

Agreed. The hunger/hunt instinct does not increase with prolonged zombie dance. If mine don't hit in 90 secs, they usually wont eat (rare) or want me to leave them alone and get out of the room. I dont have issue leaving feeder over night, but for some reason I do have issue thawing and re freezing.

i have read, in the wild, a BP will eat dead prey it comes upon.
