SUCCESS!

I received the snake on Wednesday, and she actually hadn't eaten in 10 days due to shed. She seemed to settled in to the new home quickly- exploring at night and sometimes basking in the hot spot. Since she seemed to be settled, and it had been 16 days since last feed (though only 5 days in a new home after shipping), I offered a thawed rat this morning on tongs.

No strikes, but she'd follow it around. If I kept it still she'd start nose-pushing (is there an official term for that?), so I left it in the tub and gave her a few hours of privacy. So unless there's a reanimated zombie rat roaming the herp room, she ate it!

It's been years since I've had a snake, so this was a welcome bit of luck. Thanks for the help!
Excellent !!!

Sometime in the future when you’ve got to the stage of offering ... have a hairdryer plugged in next to the viv .. give the mouse /rat a good hot blast with a hairdryer ... then don’t blink when you dangle it in

Works best at night , in dim light .
