Hey Pat,

congratulations on that step forward. One can certainly postulate that it "gets their digestive juices flowing", but I'll tell you that once the "right scent" comes their way, BAM. I have a few obnoxious babies, both zonata and alterna, that have just been so snobbish and stubborn, but once i placed a baby fence lizard in a couple weeks ago it was a WRAP. So nice to see those babies come to life, especially the agalmas. Almost comical to see them creep up on the lizard and wiggle their tails kinda like a baby leopard gecko does just before pouncing on a cricket. Honestly, to save from going crazy Pat, just continue on this flow for a while and brumate for a while at 50-55F. If you need a scenting lizard, give me a shout as well. Again, congrats on getting of substance into that snake and finding some ease in doing it as well!

Jerry Kruse
