I no longer thaw in water as the snakes seem to prefer air-dried-thawed rats, possibly the give off more scent this way.
Then when they are FULLY thawed, I heat the rats up to 100+ with a hairdryer. I have much better results doing this, and I suspect the large majority of keepers that think their snakes wont eat thawed, arent doing it right. As i had this problem myself in the past.

I do mine the same way, and all my other snakes eat f/t just fine, even Azura who had previously only eaten live when she came to me lol. Almost every feeding I would spend forever trying every trick in the book, I even tried feeding in a separate tub once to see if that would help lol but she was just not interested at all and she’s just a baby so I wanted to get some weight on her.

I for sure want to get her switched as soon as possible because I do get the dangers, at one point I actually almost took the mouse out because I went right up to her face at one point and I felt like it was getting a little to bold.
