Hey Scott,

This snake will absolutely not touch a rodent that is 1)not served with a side of fish or 2) has any fur. For a very small time period she was accepting them unscented. She then started to get really squeamish about eating them. They have to be pinkies and they have to smell like silversides or at least be fed at the same time she is being fed the silversides. She has a texture issue, she gets really freaked out about the fur even if it's slathered in fish juice!!! She drops an adult or hopper mouse about 2 seconds after picking it up. And it's funny because she will keep biting at it, she WANTS to eat it but her mouth won't let her!!! I gave up on handing her pinkies with the fish a while ago because sometimes she drops those too, I now just stuff the pinkies inside the silversides!
