I've been breeding Hondurans for over 20 years and never had one not eat and never scented food items. For me, babies that would not eat F/T would gladly take live. Unfortunately the local pet store (was in business for 47 years) that supplied me with live food when needed recently shut down.



Split-heads are the second best option. This snake only ate live last year, but I cooled it for the winter and it started eating splitheads after I brought it up from cooling. It recently started eating "intact heads." Hondurans love to eat and once yours gets going, it won't take long to switch it to conventional, unaltered frozen/thawed food.



I have three adult males that only eat live food. This is kind of a drag (and even more so since the local pet store closed), but I have found that this year (after being brought up from cooling) they've had no objection to accepting hairless frozen/thawed mice.



I wish you luck with your snake!
