    And thank you for wanting to learn to feed pre-killed (frozen-thawed or fresh-killed) to your snake, it's far safer for your snake & more humane for the rodents.

    Many here swear by using a blow-dryer to really heat up the f/t rodent RIGHT before offering (with tongs), so your BP can zero in on the lifelike heat signature.
    Once you just feed your snake where he lives (not in a separate container) it's much simpler...what you've been doing is confusing to the snake.

    If your snake is not using his hides, they may not be suitable in terms of size, height or location (too warm?). The more info* you provide (photos of your set-up,
    along with temps. & how the heat is regulated) the better we can help you. *Try to be concise though...
