The tugging suggestion probably gets passed around for someone like in my case. I just recently converted old adult snakes over to F/T that have only eaten live for years. After they coil, I very gently tug on the tail or a foot, or even poke the hip - whatever I can reach. I do this intermittently for 30-45 seconds to help make these girls think that they are still eating live. I will back off bit by bit as time goes by.
