My snake did not want to eat pinkys after trying two

It just pushed them with it's nose as if trying to shed, and moved and turned them around.

I moved it from the bed to the floor (On paper towel) and tried 1 at a time then it ate them both.


This was the first time feeding two too. Was it scared because it was more then usual?

Probably, the shoving could possibly be a test to see if they're a threat or not.

Trying them one at a time makes it easier for the snake to concentrate on its prey, rather than having to constantly switch its focus, which is often a cause for them not eating when in our presence. True some don't care, and it varies between species, Corns are a lot mellower, so they aren't as bothered most of the time.

Hope that helps :)
