I just got a pair of bairdi ratsnakes...what you may want to consider trying is cutting off a mouse tail and literally shoving it down their throats. then once they get that idea that its food they may be more willing to eat the next time. i just tired this i have not fed an actual mouse yet but im going to try tomorrow.

also have you tried the deli cup trick? take a brained pink and put it with the snake in a delicup overnight do not look at it or anything and see if it'll eat then? usually they will...but of course mine wouldnt lol. hope they get eating! i'll let you know if the tail trick works for me
