Not knocking the OP because this scenario is getting fairly common place with the influx of newer breeders.
If you want to breed and you are successful there will come a time when knowing how to do it correctly will save lives.
Done correctly the snake has no option but to swallow the prey, it's all about technique.
We've saved numerous snakes that are thriving now including the BEL female last season that needed 7 assist feeds before she figured it out.
Sorry about your loss, it's heartbreaking to lose them so quick after all of the work involved in producing them![]()
