I second what Jay said. I've had picky snakes and switching them over can be a pain. Just remember: it's only a pain for you, the snake will eat what it wants when it's ready.

And color plays a HUGE part in what they will eat. For some it may be as important as the scent of the prey. I've got balls that will eat anything I throw their way...as long as it's not completely white. Why? I don't know...maybe the brown rats are chocolate flavored. (j/k)

A few of my other "garbage disposals" couldn't care less about the color of the prey as long as it smells like a rat (or mouse...they all have their favorites).

Be patient, as long as it's not loosing a huge amount of weight it'll be okay and it'll eat when it's ready.
