Gerry, Everything Doug said works great at lot of times. That’s what most of us do first.
This is what I do next for stubborn feeders: Tricks I use and I’m sure a lot of other people on this forum use are: raw egg yolk, tuna fish, cat food, lizard poop, lizards scenting, ect. I just slop a little on the head of the pinky and about 50% to 60% of the time it works great. I’ve had some snakes come flying out of the container and land of the floor because they were that interested. Some of these guys may take a year till they switch over to unscented. I just keep whatever that snake likes in a small Ziploc bag in the freezer and cut off a small piece each time I feed. Here is a pic of one of my favorite holdbacks from 2011. He just started about 3 weeks ago eating unscented fuzzes. The only thing that worked for him was Albacore tuna. I froze 3 teaspoons about 2 years ago. It was totally freezer burned but still worked well enough.
Also make sure your temp and lighting is adequate. I hope everything works out well for your snake.
