I will be watching this thread. As a snake owner, I have one snake who is a notoriously picky eater. She ate a f/t for me 2 days after I got her, then refused to eat for a like 3 weeks. She was actually losing weight and she was just beyond a hatchling size when I got her, so eating was crucial for her. Eventually, I tried a live mouse, and she ate it no problem. Most snake owners end up going through a time when their snake decides to be picky eaters. This can be caused by anything; e.g., too cold, too hot, too wet, too dry, too windy, not windy enough, or anything. One of my snakes was bitten by the live mouse I was feeding to it, and didn't eat for 2 weeks. So just get your husbandry dialed in and he may come around. I do agree with feeding him a f/t rat pup, but when you go to the store, you may want to buy a f/t rat pup, as well as a live one. The frozen one can always be put back in the freezer, and the longer the rat pup lives, the weaker it'll get (without it's mother's milk that is). That's a little inhumane, but if the rat is weak and unable to fight back a lot, then your snake may be more willing to try to eat it.
