Start by offering it appropriate sized pre-killed rodents. You never did mention what size animal you are getting. They will also accept frogs, toads, chicks, or even strips of for human consumption chicken. Frogs & toads are probably going to have a parasite load you don't want to pass on to the snake. Chicks are okay once in a while, but not as a steady diet. Same for the grocery store chicken. Rodents are the best bet. Kill 'em first to avoid having the snake bitten by the prey. There will probably be no need to wiggle the mouse...just toss it in the cage. Mine used to catch them before they hit the cage floor. Great centerfielders.
