Hello Gidi, (and Wim)

My friend bought from the same cluch as your snakes are from. He has the same problems. He forcefeed them as long as you have them. First with micetails and later with the smallest baby mice. I guess it is the best way to do. They are to expensive not to forcefeed....

Now he tease them with the mice untill they bite in the mouse. When they bite in the mouse, you have to be standing very still. After holding a few minutes they begin to eat. You stil must standing very still. After the mouse is eaten my friend puts them back into the terrarium. If they let go the mouse the first time he keep on trying for several times just as long they begin to eat. So when you are going to do it this way you must be free for the evening LOL.
Picture is one of his snakes I took.
Succes Jan P, Netherlands.
