It’s possible your prey size is off. Also, feed rats as mice are higher in fat. If this is new behavior it’s likely due to the things mentioned above. If not you may just need to work with him a bit. Try giving him time before doing that though. If you use gloves make sure they aren’t fabric as the snakes teeth can get stuck. I’d monitor everything and leave him be for awhile and try again.
