I figured, she seems like an experienced snake owner. I could suggest some methods that have proved to work with other snake owners. However, I have no experience so I will leave it alone instead. Its kind of an instinct to ask what the husbandry is like for feeding questions, since that seems to be the biggest mistake most people make, but I trust that you´ve got it down.
I do hope someone can help you. Good luck with your snake and tell him i said hi!
