Today I visited the Royal that I asked for help about a few weeks ago. I went along to watch it feed, and ended up having to feed it myself.
I gave them some advice origionally, so they changed the rediculously oversized food to mice pinks/pups. I've moved his diet back to the right food now, and showed them how to feed it properly. Origionally they defrosted the mouse then left it in a bowl for the snake to eat! No wonder it's been constantly refusing the food! They put a layer of substrate down, which is good. A heat mat has also been added, but instead of under the log, it is propped up against the wall. They have done 'a lot of research' since I first heard of this, and 'it is best for the snake that way. Just because I have a snake doesn't mean I know best'. It's on the way to recovery, though, and I think this is a good step forward. Harry

I would agree, try and up the size of the prey a little if it is eating, if not maybe stick to the small size till you can get it eating

I didn't do this! I told them the food was too large a while ago, so THEY went and changed it to pups. NOT ME! I wouldn't dream of it. I've got him back on the right diet now - OFF THE PUPS. Also, the heat mat is now underneath the log. Harry
