Hi,

Can you tell us how you prepare the F/T and how you offer both it and the live?

I'm wondering if the first offering that she refuses is letting her know food is in the offing - this is the reason we prescent and doing that might make a difference if you are not currently doing it.

Second idea is maybe you are not getting the F/T hot enough?

Try hitting the head and body of it with a hairdrier for a bit just befpore offering it.

It might also depend on how you present it - do not bring it so close to her that it can make her feel defensive. Keep a bit of distance and if she is hungry she will come to it (within reason ).

They can be a little less excited by F/T on occasion but she has eaten it twice so she should hopefully be ok with a few tweaks to get it exactly to her demands (they are royal pythons after all ).
