My snake, who used to refuse nothing and ate like a pig has been refusing to eat lately. I feed F/T, well at least I've been trying to. I usually blast the rat with a hair dryer before putting it in his cage, and as soon as I start doing that he comes right out of his hide and acts like he's about to tear something up. But when I put the rat in, he kinda looks at it and goes the other way. I've tried leaving the rat in over night but it's always there the next day.

Temps/humidity are fine. He did have a bad shed this past time due to my being out of town and not here to adjust his humidifier, but that was a few weeks ago and he got it all off after taking a soak.

Is it time to start worrying, should I switch to live? I really don't want to feed live because I don't want the hassle of dealing with a rat if he decides not to eat it. I know what will happen the kids will see it and want to keep it as a pet, I'm not even opening that can of worms if I can help it. Guess I could let it go in my neighbors garage

I haven't weighed him in a few weeks, but last time I did he was still around 1500 grams.
