well first to prepare it I did have the frozen fuzzy sit out for about 2-3 hours before and then tried to feed it to the snake. then when that did not work I got the warm water and put the fuzzy in there for like 5 mins, and tried again "again nothing" the snake sniffed it a couple time and went on his way. Thats when I called pet store owner and asked and he said try brown bag feeding and leave the fuzzy and snake in bag over night, and I did that with no results in eating.
