I scented with lizard, to no avail. Even tried lizard tail. I tried ALL hatchlings on live, and even the feeders wouldn't eat them, they seem scared of them. I tried assist feeding tonight- easy enough, they open their mouths trying to bite me, but they let it go when I let them go, or brought it back up if started a ways. Good point about the weight, they look fine! I tried feeding in tiny deli cups already- thanks Conrad, but they seem willing to "live with them." I guess I'll stick with offering food every five days until they eat. If no luck I plan to brumate them this winter.

PS, would you WANT these Conrad? I'd give two to you if you'll pick them up. Also could take you snake-hunting around here. Probably blk rats, garters and copperheads, but you never know.
