Ive had this two young snakes for a while. One is insane, almost taking a finger even with forceps. The other, however, is extremely reluctant. It smells the pinkie and wants it but then backs away scared. I've tried everything: checked temps bumping(scared it more) scenting(anoles and geckos) braining(messy still didn't work) small part of the pinkie. NOTHING WORKS!!!!!!!!!! I want to pick it up and shove the mouse down its throught(I would NEVER do this, it just has me so frustrated). I'm going to try wild anoles as prey even though I would rather not. Any more suggestions?
