Okay,.. I had a few "holdouts" like that. I would take a freshly killed rat and "make it hide" behind their water bowl,.. peek out occasionally, and then "hide again". This would usually stimulate the problem feeder to get excited and "hunt" this hiding rat down. They seem to like the stalk, so if you can animate the rat in a lifelike manner, it should work. After your snake has accepted several of these freshly killed rats, move on to thawed. Make sure you have them in warm water just prior to feeding as the burmese have sensetive heat detection equipment and would be confused by a cold live animal. Wet rats never bother any of my snakes.
