Just keep offering. If you're refreezing and offering the same rat over and over again, you may have killed the smell, try another fresh one.

Give the snake a rest if you are trying to feed it every day. you will just stress it out if it isn't hungry. Wait 5 days, then try again with a fresh mouse, rat, or whatever. Repeat as necessary. Don't try to change a bunch of things, just go with whatever worked in the past (i.e. if you normally feed it during the day, keep feeding during the day). Sometimes they will refuse food for awhile before and after a shed.

Good luck and relax

What I meant was - keep offering on your regular schedule (oi he probably thought I meant twice daily huh?)
