    I dunno, but try thawing in cold from now on, ok? Warmth causes spoilage & snakes have way better noses than we do.
    And then pinch-damage the nose slightly right before you offer it, to release a bit of scent.

    Gosh I wish you lived next door...it would be so much easier to help.

    TPs don't need their food warmed up prior to offering...they don't have heat sensing pits like BPs do. But IMO, even prey for BPs
    should be fully thawed in cold water first, before warming briefly to entice them to grab. The thing is, since you thawed in warm
    water, & then had to leave the pinkies overnight in hopes she'd eat, they spoiled faster & that might have made the difference.

    You could also try a live pinky or fuzzy, but you shouldn't have to if she's been raised on f/t.
