I've tried tuna scenting, feeding in a small dark container, feeding in the enclosure braining, and feeding in a paper towel tube. Next time I'm going to feed in a small container with a pinkie cut in half, brained, and tuna scented.
What kills me is that the snake is obviously hungry. She roams around the enclosure as though looking for food, looking up with her tongue flicking. Although she hisses when I put the pinkie in with forceps she approaches it, mock strikes at it a few times, and even touches the tip of her nose to it and licks it. It seems like she is interested every time. Then eventually she freaks herself out and runs away instead of eating it.
I'm so confused. She obviously knows it is food and wants to eat it, but for some reason she doesn't. Is the food too big?
