I think that brianing will be my last option. It sounds disgusting and I'm not sure how to do it. Not saying I won't try though if all else fails.

I hope that helps, and if not, I would say let the snake skip a feeding, it wouldnt hurt to miss 1, kinda like my little girls, if they dont want to eat lunch they have to wait till dinner to eat. (I am sure the snake doesn't put it together that way - but hunger can be a pretty driving force!)
I think I will try again next week (skipping the feeding this week). If that don't work, I will need to wait till I can get a very small live one and try the live/ft back to back method. Only problem there is I have seldom seen a live hopper at the pet store I need to go to.
