thank you

He's spent most of his life being a bad feeder but all of a sudden with a change of address he's had a change of heart on the food front as well luckily for me

His breeder has perservered with him for two years, was getting to the end of his tether with him and luckily for me (talk about right place at the right time) he asked if I would be willing to try. I must admit I have far less experience than his breeder but I decided it was worth a try, so after having a lesson in handling Tenko, I took him on the 45min drive home, once there I popped him into his new temporary home some 20mins later I had this absurd idea to try feeding him on defrost.........................
Tenko snatched it rolled it then left it 10mins later he ate it ,
he has since had three defrost feeds, striking straight away each time so lucky me

although I will be offering him back to the breeder ( hope he says no )

Its been wonderfull for me to take home non feeding snake and find within 20mins he will feed here. I thought I was going to have a real battle on my hands to keep him alive.
