I have heard of the occasional boa that holds out for live only.



Boas easily eat large prey. I wouldn't waste pinks. Try a larger size, even fuzzy sounds small to me. Then warm up the thawed rodent to 90-something degrees.



Also try thawed rat pinks. They are big and usually elicit a feeding response from other live-only stubborn snakes I've had.
