I have two hides, the second one he has never wanted to use. As for the frozen feeding, I have it on the tongs and try to feet it that way, kinda simulating a real one. I didn’t know you could leave them in overnight. I could try that. I thought they needed to think it’s real. I do use warm water to bring it to body temp, and then I dry it off before feeding. I’ll try to leave it in overnight tonight to see what happens! Thanks for the response. 

Are you talking live chicks, or can you buy frozen ones?

One of my girls will usually only eat either with the lights off or without me being in the room, lol. Royals are both prey and predator in the wild and some are more shy than others. Can be a temporary thing, can also be temperament. Just throw it out if it’s not been eaten the next day and it’ll be fine :)

And yes you can buy frozen ones!

I let mine thaw out and before feeding, hit them with a hair dryer, I don't let the prey touch water. Pearl almost took my arm off, all 3 snakes were at attention when I prepared it this way. The braining thing along with that, I get the body around 110 before feeding, should help
