I've never heard of them being started on frozen. These things are attracted to movement, which means they need living, moving prey, preferably something fast. They also are very shy feeders, so try my tried and true method. Wait until they're in a hide (provide them with a large one), throw a live pink or two into the hide, then leave the room. Don't watch them eat, it'll only freak them out. They are inherently nervous snakes, also very intuitive and intelligent. They stress easily at that size. That's my advice, if that doesn't work, try crickets or a small lizard.

Kevin
