I know of several methods that have worked for me.

1. frozen thawed chicks, "available at rodent pro"

2. Adult F/T or Fresh killed mouse heavily scented with a thawed chick.

3. put the snake in a small plastic container, "sweater or shoe box" add about 1/8 inch of water,let the snake settle for about 30 minutes and then put a live mouse in with it.

all of these methods have worked for me. I currently have a 3-4 month old female green that will accept a F/T or Fresh killed mouse that I have rubbed all over a F/T Chick. She takes it every time. I usually just set it next to her and come back in the morning and it is always gone. But tonight she actually took it from the tongs....hope this helps. if you have other questions feel free to email me at mcbrayerreptiles@yahoo.com.

Justin
