*Make sure they are housed separately (they are known to eat each other and are stressed anyways when cohabitated).
*Have lots of hide spots and deep substrate (they are ambush predators).
*Make sure your tank is not too big!
*Don't try too hard with the rodents (the presence of a rodent may stress too much)...stick with attempts once or maybe twice a week at night.
*If the breeder said that the snake is finicky, make sure you are attempting the same food item that it was previously eating.
*Make sure your husbandry is up to par.

Good Luck!
