Pre-killed
Brain cased
ASF
Can you give us some details of how your snake is being housed? What size and type of enclosure? Temperatures? Humidity levels? How large is your animal? What size prey is she eating?

Brain casing is the process of splitting the feeder head open and pushing the brains out (yuck)
ASFs are African Short Furs, which are another choice of feeder but generally harder to find.

Re: i need help..
The blood and guts smell good to the snake which usually stimulates a good feeding response
