    How big of a snake are we talking about (weights?)

    If under 500/750 grams I would definitely move it if he is a poor feeder or inconsistant feeder.

    I have said it many time before I purposely move smaller males under 750 grams in smaller enclosure before issue even arise during this time of the year (why? Because I have had enough male becoming inconsistant that I would rather prevent than solve a problem)

    And yes they were eating in their current setup however downsizing can and will in many cases make a difference in their feeding habit.

    It's important to also understand that while a snake can do well in a certain enclosure for a while stress can appear over time and affect behaviour in general and feeding in particular.

    Offering live should be a secondary option not the primery, especially if F/T is what you want to feed.
