I'm assuming this is Boiruna maculata that you're speaking of.

I've found the best way to get baby mussuranas feeding is to just give in and give them snake feeders. I keep a couple pair of snakes whose babies are specifically for mussie feeders. Typically they'll eat a f/t part of a snake pretty easily. Occasionally they'll want a live one. You can raise your own, or just hit up your buddies who get stillborn or deformed babies.

I then move to f/t pinks with some snake skin attached with some cotton thread. Then I offer f/t pinks with snake skin rubbed on it. Then f/t pinks. Then whatever.

Boiruna are opportunistic and usually will start to take rodents.
