This makes it very tough to get them feeding. You may have luck with anoles. I dont know what type of copperhead you have. Is it wild caught? You can also try red back salamandas. Since it is winter you may have to resort to force feeding. It is probally easiest to force feed mouse tails. This willget them through the winter. They usually take them down on their own once you get the tail in a quater of the way. Most solenoglyphic sankes take food down on their own once you get it started. I have a few friends that cut thin strips of beef heart for copperheads and rattlesnakes. I dont care for it but; it does work for them. And beef heart is packed with nutrients. If you must force feed get invest in a pair of Midwest gloves. Or at least good welding gloves. | ||
