I have been struggling with a hatchling that I have had for about 6 months. Force-feeding mouse tails every week trying to get him to eat. F/T, live, brained, quartered....... nothing. Then last night I saw a trick used by the guys at BHB () involving scenting with tuna fish. Well, tonight I gave it a shot and sure enough......I have a fat hatchling!

What a relief. I would have been heartbroken to lose him, and I hated manipulating him in such a way to force-feed, as the little fella is all of 6 inches long
