I switched mine over buy using live fuzzies in a completely dark room except for the red lights so I could see. I tease fed in these conditions worked great still eating mice to this day.

I'm only passing on what someone told me to try when I had this problem not to long ago. They seem to prefer feeding in the dark I also made a little contraption that I can suctions to the glass it has a little cup on a dowel rod about 6 inches shoved in to a section cup. I suction this to the glass on the door about 4-5 inches below where the snake is resting put a live fuzzy in the cup close the door turn of all the lights and leave the room. Make the cup deep enough it cannot get out and the snake will notice it moving and more than likely nature will take it's course.

Oh and the other idea about tease feeding at night when the snake strikes and takes the food don't move or the snake will drop the mouse and focus on you. It takes some patience the cup stick and suction cup does the same thing but you don't have to go into statue mode while they eat and you can leave it there overnight.

I have other ideas but these methods have worked the best for me.
