You might already know this... but... You can rub the rat with a mouse (or mouse cage shavings) OR you can be really brave and do what my hubby has been doing lately and feeding a small mouse to get her started and then follow it with a f/t rat. When she gets down to the tail of the mouse ease the rats nose in right after it. She'll just think it's a really long mouse. This might also get her used to the taste/smell of the rat. Some shyer snakes won't like this hands on approach, but several of our breeder females are getting this treatment right now and don't mind at all.
Good Luck!! ----- Kelly Affonce
