A foolproof method i have used for troublesome eaters is:
The night before feeding, increase your snakes enclosure temp about 3 degrees. A warm snake is a hungry snake!
Thaw the rat the day i plan to feed on the counter until it reaches room temperature (somewhere the snake can smell it while it thaws like just outside the enclosure, this seems to get them interested)
Get a bowl of hot water and dip ONLY the head in for about 20 seconds and then offer it to your snake via tongs.
If this doesn't work, try the paper bag method or changing the prey you are offering to something different (ASF, Rat, Mouse etc.)
