If you are feeding in a separate cage, you may very well have issues converting from live to pre-killed with some of your snakes. Most snakes will take pre-killed more readily if fed in their primary cages. The movement to another feeding unit can many times interfere with or disengage their feeding response to the point that only live prey is enough to re-stimulate the feeding response. This obviously does not occur with all snakes, but does commonly occur with more shy species such as ball pythons.
