what you're NOT supposed to do with your food...

The tail one is not a bad way to go Zo. Or you could try getting a needle or pin and stabbing the head to expose some of the brain juice, this doesn't always work but anything is worth a try hey?

That old trick has worked for me a couple of times. If the snake was previously eating thawed pinkies it is probably a husbandry issue though.

Hey Zo,

i'm by no means an experienced keeper, but when my scrubbie continually curled up with a live fuzzy instead of eating it, I tried a live hopper mouse. It sure got him going!! Since then, I haven't had any problems with him eating. This was after a 2 month fast.

SUCCESS!!!

The little critter has just taken its first pinkie mouse!!!

trying the second now!!

Whenever my bredli hatchling doesn't apear interested in feeding i do this and she smaks it down no probs.

[soulweaver]

no we didn't take any photos, with the trouble we had with getting him to feed in the first place all we cared abt was getting the food down, maybe photos next time
