When you get the lizard maker be sure to first wash the pinkie with a bar of Ivory soap and then apply the lizard maker usually a drop of it on the pinky's head will be enough.

I have also tried placing shed lizard skin on a pinkie's head. What I learned from that is Uromastyx and bearded dragon scent will freak out a snake. I do not know for sure, but maybe the scent of an anole could be pleasing to a corn snake since corn snakes can be found in the same region as anoles.

Try washing the pinkie with Ivory soap before offering it to your snake without the lizard maker.

Have you tried putting your snake in a deli cup or some other small container then placing it in the cage? You can also try this at night.
