this is a follow up to a post i put on this forum about a week ago. you guys can check that other one for all the details, but the gist of it is that my young corn won't eat. its been almost a month now and my snake still hasnt eaten. hes pretty thin and im quite worried. ive tried about various methods about half a dozen times now with no success. the next method i'll try is feeding a pinkie at night inside a deli cup. should i brain the pinkie first?



also, ive heard lizard scenting can work, but the only lizard scent product i could find online has been discontinued. anyone have any other suggestions for lizard scenting for someone with no access to lizards?



at this point im also wondering if i should increase the frequency of the attempted feedings. (ive been waiting 3-4 days between attempts) and at what point should i condsider a force feeding? i know this is a last resort but like i said its been almost a month and im getting worried. please help!
