1) I put a small pinky in their cage overnight. I made sure that the snake saw the food but tried not to disturb the snake.

2) The next time (all the pinkies thrown away) I put the food in a deli cup and left them alone for a few hours. After a few hours I pierced the head of the pinky and smeared the brains over the face and nose of the pinky. Still no takers.

3) Tonight I tried to tease feed the snake. I put the pinky in front of the snake and moved it around. A few snakes struck at the food, but no one swallowed (after 30 minutes with two snakes).

I am beginning to think that I don't know anything about snakes.
