Frozen mice = fail?? Thoughts please.

My snake was similar, but now it rejects food for a while, then goes back on feed perfectly for a while, then repeats the process.

Wait a week before you give it anything again and let the male acclimate. It's not always that the snake settles down very quick. After that you can try every 3 days untill he eats. I also feed males and females together, just watch them carefully. The male can however be intimidated by the female. This means that he keeps on refusing food, then you need to feed them seperately.

I can't comment on the cannibalism, I don't own the species.

I have acheived victory. He at a fish scented pinkie moments ago. Female at a fish scented fuzzy. I'll be trying him on a fuzzy next week and I'll put the female back on adult scented mice, that I hope to prekill and not get frozen. Wonder if the female will eat the remaining 2 pinkes and 20 minnows. And omg, today's feed cost me 8.25! Dang it prices are annoying, I wish I had online feeders I could freeze but alas no freezer for me.

It's so infuriating and worrying when a snake won't eat. Our female garter had been eating fine since we got her, but suddenly about 3 weeks ago started refusing food. No earthworm, no fish, no fluffs can tempt her. Otherwise she seems well. The cornsnake we bought a few weeks ago ate before we collected her, but is still refusing to eat for us. Apart from the obvious worry about the snakes, the waste of food is beginning to bother me.
