Are you feeding mice or rats? You should move to rats if not already doing so. A couple of mine were on mice when I got them and after moving to rats they have never missed a meal. I have four young ones that are currently taking rat pups.

I get all of my feeders out about two hours before feeding time to thaw. I place a couple pups per baggie. About 10 minutes before feeding time I place a couple baggies in a large bowl with the hottest tap water possible. I use a butter knife to hold the baggie down in the water. I refill the bowl with hot water again at the 5 minute mark. I take them out of the baggie and roll them up in a per towel to dry. I can feel the warmth of the rat through the paper towel so i know they are ready.

Usually by this time the snakes can smell the rat and are already moving around looking for the meal. As soon as I open the cage and dangle the rat with the tongs they usually strike right away. Occasionally if one doesn't strike right away and just sniffs the rat I warm it up with a hair dryer for a minute or so. This always does the trick and they take it the second time. I'm not sure if they get teased with the rat being removed and brought back or if it's the additional heat from the hair dryer.

Hopefully somebody's tips help your snake to easily feed. Good luck!
