Free advice wanted, lol.
I bought 2 high yellow dimonds a few months ago and the female has eaten 2 or 3 times but the male has only eaten once. Every time i offer him a meal he just strikes at it. They both live in the same tub with no problems but he just wont eat. What can i do. I have rubbed the pinkie rat over a chicken to get the smell onto it but with no luck.

Separate them. If you're going to be housing snakes together, they should, at the very least, be feeding without an issue

How old are they? If they are old enough to breed...males at this time only have breeding on their mind......not food!

If your snakes aren't feeding as you'd like them, then house them separately.
Keeping two snakes together can, in some cases, stress out one or both of the snakes, causing them to go off feed.
