He had said large rats, which is what I'm trying. I've also tried really fresh (I didn't do the deed, but a local snake place kills locally and freezes their own stock so I picked one up before it was frozen with the rest and offered minutes later), but it has the same success/fail rate.



I can try the hide again, but she doesn't seem afraid of it beyond the pulling her nose away? Her head will jerk away but then the rest of her body will get snugly and all around ignore it.



Tank currently has a 75-(90-95) gradient, she usually plops somewhere in the middle. Near the hot side is a bowl with a sponge I keep for moisture, and she has a water bin on the cold side that she could fit her whole body into if she wanted. I also take her out once a week for bathtub time, where she's allowed to free swim if she wants and usually does for 20-40 minutes before she wants out (I've never heard of anyone doing this freeswim time, but most photos I see of water pythons in the wild show them swimming in a river, so I want to give her that option).
