I think a lot of it relates to their previous care. I feed frozen to all but one snake. And my goal is to get that last snake on frozen, but I dont see it happening for a while still. she is a stubborn one.

I offer room temp, or water temp when I feed. Thawing in a bucket has proven to be the most efficient for me. Drying and offering for the first month to see if they take it. If not, then I warm to the 104 degrees prior to offering. For me, since I am doing it with the short tails, it isn't a big issue!

Most of what I get is live fed since they are via rescue. I have one jungle that will hit on anything. LOL Including stuffed toys. Everything else seems to be a bit more picky. But that is the one trick no matter the species that has worked every time (except one stubborn boreno) I have had issues feeding. It works like a charm. The other thing I have found it works great on is when you can't get stuff transferred from Mice to Rats. Make the rodent soup and the scent transfers.
