Some more pics, as promised!

These are pics of Jake eating and just after he has eaten. He will only eat mice, i have tried defrosting a rat and a mouse together then rubbing them together, i have tried this mouse scent stuff and still no luck. There is no tricking this snake.
If anyone has any ideas on how to get my boy to eat rats please let me know.

*the first photo, you will need to rotate.

Thats one pretty snake.

I have never tried this so don't know if it will work but maybe try putting a mouse tail into a small rats mouth and presenting it mouse tail first to your snake.

That last photo if I didn't know better i'd say it was my snake.
Great looking snake.
I just left it for a mth and then left the rat in his enclosure over night. It was gone the next day.

I just by a bag of white, wet pebbles and dry them. The enclosure is nice for the mean time but i plan on making him a taller one when he gets a bit bigger so he can climb a lot.

I'm not really sure, i'm kinda new at the whole thing but i am really happy with my snake and you will know that he will give you a healthy snake. He has a really clean store also and knows what he is talking about.
