I learned early on that snakes like small places where they can cram themselves into. I have luck with relutant feeders by providing a "tight spot" . This seems to provide the security (ie..low stress) they need to feel secure to eat.



One example are w/c Lyre snakes. Most people who have tried their hand at this species will eventually give up and release the lyres. But what i do is put a cereal box or other box crammed full of cardboard. The Lyre (or any snake) will crawl in and stay there. At night i put a FT mouse at the outside of the container and by morning it is gone. VIOLA'!



I have never had a Lyre snake refuse food with this method.
