He ate live mice originally, but when he was big enough for rats switched to F/T. He had the small rats (40g) no problem, as soon as he seen them he hit.

When I bumped up to the medium size (90g) he acts like he's afraid or something. I'll warm it up a bit with a hair dryer and he comes right out of his hide like he's ready to kill the first thing that moves, but when I put the rat and do the zombie dance he shys away from it. If I hold it real still he'll come up and sniff but eventually ignore it.

If I just toss it in the cage he stares at it like he's making sure it's already dead then proceeds to eat it. Doesn't strike or coil around it.

I figure he's either scared of the rat or super lazy and wants nothing to do with something he might have to kill. Is this just my snake being a strange BP, or is something the matter?
