i agree with everything Tim said..
heres how i do it or tell people to try....

f/t pink
f/t pink brained
f/t pink beheaded
f/t pink cut in 1/2 long ways
f/t pink scented with Green anole, house gecko, tuna juice, chicken broth
f/t pink with green anole or house gecko blood
f/t pink wrapped in green anole or house gecko skin

Live pink brained
Live pink scented with Green anole, house gecko, tuna juice, chicken broth
Live pink with green anole or house gecko blood
Live pink wrapped in green anole or house gecko skin

Small live green anole or house gecko
Small live green anole or house gecko with blood(pinch tail off)

small baby tree frog (these are usually harder to find which is why they are last)

make sure you aren't trying this all in 1 day. this should be tried every 3-5 days apart.
you can also try putting the pink in a deli cup with the snake or "hide" the prey 1/2 way under the water bowl. and then there is always the paper bag trick... make sure all is done at night time and take the uneaten prey out in the AM.
