I have had the BEST response with tree frogs. Rub the tree frog all over the pink to scent it. Then let the tree frog jump around in the snakes cage....once you have a good feeding response going (it is chasing the frog) put the pink in. I hold the frog with forceps on top of the pink. When the snake come in for a bite, I simply remove the frog and he gets a mouth full of pink. This has worked very well for me, but does require a lot of patience. Well worth the effort though.
