Serpy, how did you get him onto fuzzy mice?
I have had this happen with several T. beetzi over the years but it always took training with gecko scented rodent first, then gradually decreasing the scent until the snake eats unscented rodent.
With this method, although they do well, I have never had a T. beetzi alive longer than 3 years. I think this is because a rodent diet is not natural and can strain the liver or something.
I have 2 male T. beetzi at the moment that I feed them frozen/thawed Hemidactylus gecko's and they are thriving but time will tell.

If you wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes, you'll just have to claw your way through this disguise.
