I have switched baby diamondback watersnakes & baby banded watersnakes over to mice very easily by just rubbing fish on the pinkies for a few feedings. A good friend of mine keeps green watersnakes & brown watersnakes & some have switched over to unscented, but some still need scenting. He thaws mice in water with smelt & the watersnakes get the mice & the turtles get the smelt.
