Some just take more time to settle in and get on a strong feeding routine. Try to not offer the prey too often as this can lead to the opposite thing you want. If we get a refusal we just leave them till the next scheduled feeding day but also we immediately check for any other reason they might have refused. Husbandry, a change in routine, a difference in the prey, over handling, health, impending shed...whatever.

Some snakes have certain "tricks". One of ours won't eat unless the room is dark. We have another that would snarf down prey if the Mormon Tabernacal Choir was performing in the livingroom LOL.

We feed live to some of our snakes, our het albino from Adam being one of them. Feed how you want and what your snake will accept as long as any of the means of feeding provide a good healthy meal in a responsible manner.
