Try this, It's by far the easiest way....

Buy a frozen fillet of Tilapia or Salmon at the grocery store.

When PARTIALLY thawed, cut into strips.

Now freeze the fish in bags so that you can get out one or two strips at a time, and shake it in front of the snake with tongs.(thawed out of course)

Nearly all of my Thamnophis eat tilapia and salmon without any effort.(on my part)

You can order "extra small" pinks, and rub some of the frozen fish on it.

Another concept, I put 2-3 pinks IN the water bowl with a fish.

The motion of the fish will trigger a feeding response, and the snake will most likely take the pinks too.
