After studying the natural feeding of BP's in the wild I changed the way I feed and it's working quite well.
I used to wait until it was dark and my snake came out like she was searching for food. She would eat, but it was like I had to do the zombie dance for a while. I decided to change it up a bit.
BP's in the wild don't go searching for food. They lay in the den of rodents and termites and patiently wait. This is what sparked my thinking to change the way I feed.
I wait until late afternoon or early evening before I change to the night cycle. I feed while she is still in her hide. I will take the f/t and do the zombie dance at the opening of her hide, then pull it back a little ways. She will come crawling out in search of the prey and attack very quick. She seems to ingest it quicker as well.
It really seems to have changed her feeding response during the last 2 feedings.
