My dwarf Retics are a huge learning curve for me right now after having colubrids for a bit and then all ball pythons.
The female decided to wrap her rat and drop it in the water dish after. Took her a little bit but fished it out on her own. No problems at all. She definitely knew what she was looking for.
They also both took room temp chicken hearts with no problems at all, so now I just need to figure out the best way to present it.... Which is most likely going to be a bowl to keep them easy to find and away from substrate.
Gonna try some other chicken cuts from leftovers maybe. I usually have some when prepping for my dog's specialty diet.
Might try some other critter meat too.
For BPs, I've only had one eat a soaking wet rat from the bowl and that was because they wrapped it there and didn't drop it. Any others I've had are super picky on it and leave it until I fish it out and try again
