A few things ...



I would keep feeding to a one time sitting. Use one prey item that is appropriately sized. Appropriately sized is about as thick or just a bit larger then the thickest section of your snake. If it as able to take two mice I would suggest a hopper or crawler rat.



If I remember correctly, you are trying to switch the snake to frozen thawed. If this is the case, I would try offering a pre-killed prey item next feeding. I thought you were going to do this for your last feeding but apparently I shouldnt assume. I am sure your husband will be alright with killing the prey item (Im not a huge fan of this tail cutting bit), simply place it in a bag and smack it on something hard, then throw it in the box with the snake.



Good luck.
