My new guy is a shy eater. Wasn't having luck with F/t doing the dance, finally just left one in overnight and by morning was gone. Some snakes don't like the F/t rather dance.
It's the only thing that works for my two Albino Royals both nervous feeders so I turn the lights very low and just make sure the rat is nice land warm before dangling in front of the hide entrance - they both grab it from within their hides ..
