I agree. Getting the pink's head into the lizard's body cavity certainly does the trick. I've been using the same lizard for 2 years now.



Another method that works well is washing the frozen pinky with hand or dish soap and rinsing well. Thaw out and feed the snake. It works a lot of the time, especially on Rat Snakes. I've used it for Kings as well with moderate success.
