    Take the advice mentioned above first ...

    Anytime you move a snake wether you mean set up or just location if can effect certain snakes for a week or so ... good eaters probably won't be too bothered tbh

    As regards you 'pestering' her that's entirely possible . If you have a failure it's possibly best to wait a week or so before trying again .

    In my experience, Royals are funny critters , some are ravenous eaters and others are the complete opposite only feeding every 10 to 14 days ..

    I'd suggest trying a small thawed mouse next time and try the hairdryer method . Basically feed in the evenings, low or dim lighting , wait until snakey is in a hide , get the mouse in some tongs , heat for 10+ seconds then INSTANTLY dangle it in front of the hide entrance.. repeat this process as many times as it takes .... mine grab the mouse and eat in under their hides ..

    I'll send a more detailed explanation to you by pm ..

    Good luck
