I have dealt with Glossy Snakes in captivity several times. Adults and subadults will generally learn to take f/t mice of the appropriate size.
Babies are harder to get on pinks.

I think it also depends where they are from. The desert subspecies are smaller, both as adults and babies, and are harder to acclimate onto mice. The large eastern subspecies are much easier.

I knew someone who bred striped phase Texas Glossies for a number of years, but he got out of them.
