Those feeding pattern differences between clutchmates is interesting. In my experience, females are more reliable, regular feeders and males are variable (some good, some mediocre and some poor). Among my three Pacific's, all three of the aforementioned feeding patterns are present.

The striped male is definitely my problem child. Generally seems more restless and spends more of his time cruising than the other two. He fed well on pinky mice but generally took fewer of them than the other two. When I transitioned them over to fuzzy mice, he accepted them somewhat reluctantly and has been highly variable since. He is in a higher traffic area of the house though so thinking of swapping locations with one of the better adjusted snakes. Sometimes, a relocation to a new cage can make all the difference. I'll find out between now and about next weekend...
