I follow the procedure above with a few exceptions:
- I thaw my rodents in the fridge overnight (it can take up to 2 days if they are large)
- About 2 hours before feeding, I get the rodent out and let it sit to warm up to room temps
- I use a blow dryer to heat the rodent up to normal rat body temp (warm to the touch), especially the head.
- I use a pair of hemostats or tongs to dangle the rodent for the snake.. I grip it behind the head or by the hindquarters and move it around at ground level to simulate walking.

I have a couple snakes that will only eat if I leave the feeder in there, but most will strike while it is being moved on the tongs.

I do not re-freeze feeders.. I usually heat up 1 less than I need and if someone refuses, their meal goes to another snake.

If your BP is in good weight (does he look round? can you see his spine and he looks more triangular?), then you don't necessarily have to change his schedule. My adult female BPs get fed 1 medium or large rat every 2 weeks and I've had some of them strike for a long time and be fine.
