Hi, just wanted to chime in with a method that has worked for me several times in the past. I withhold water for about a week, then offer a pink mouse dipped in water. Often times the snake will start to drink the water from the pink and almost as a reflex they will take the mouse. Make sure to replace the water if this technique doesn't work for you, the last thing you need is a dehydrated baby that won't eat.



Worked for me, I hope this helps.



Joe
