Beans is being stubborn, or just picky.

WOW those snakes are big and so is that set-up, it looks awesome! as for the hair dryer method, we had tried that one night with no luck, we're hoping he'll take it in the future, but for now we're feeding him rat-pups and watching every second to make sure it doesn't get ugly (the rat being the attacker) and he's been doing well. we would sit there for like 30 minutes trying to get him to take the frozen rat and he wouldn't take it, but when we put the live rat pup in there he takes it within 30 seconds. his record for how fast it is is 13 seconds, hopefully we'll beat the record but with a F/T....

Well the hairdryer method is far more than just giving the mouse /rat a quick blast with a hairdryer...

Works best in the dark / dim / low light so the heat pits kick-in , thawing in the snake room to get the snakes hungry with the rodent smell and only offering when the snake is well settled UNDER a hide , then feed at the hide entrance.


I see people saying they tried the hairdryer trick but the snake slithered away almost as though it was scared ... that happens because many of not most Royals need the security of a hide to feel confident enough to strike and constrict
