Almost forgot, if he hesitates over the f/t pink, use your feeding tongs to squish/damage the nose slightly...that releases more scent & can make the difference
between a sniff & refusal or a sniff & pounce.
I've raised 53 neonate rosy boas...this was how I got them feeding on f/t. They're plenty big enough to eat two pinkies, and this way they learn f/t is food too.
Some catch on faster than others. They're also similar to ball pythons, as far as being "ambush-predators"- if you see them peeking out (of hide or substrate) &
if it's time for a meal, that's what they're thinking & it's a good time to offer, preferably in evening.
