So, rather than assume the breeder lied, why not assume the snake changed?
this snake went from supposedly eating rats to being a problem feeder period!
in the 50 snakes i have ive never seen one that went from eating rats to barely eating 1 mouse every few weeks. in over 2 years this snake will refuse sometimes months at a time.

i have seen them just want mice but they still eat weekly.
