I agree that eventually the snake could have been moved over to live again... Definately possible. I did try, with scenting, dancing dead prey, fresh pre killed and stunned to no avail. The only way he would eat it is if you plopped it in his cage and let him be, and even then it could go a good while before the snake decided to ingest it. My point was that in this case this was a natural predator that would only eat dead animals, Therefore an animal that had been broken of it's natural behaviors for the convenience of the keeper, and this is what we should try to avoid.
