Jeff,

It does not surprise me that a stubborn kingsnake took a skink-scented mouse. Also - as has been mentioned elsewhere, it would probably be a good idea to wait a while before trying lizard scenting on those rats. How old are they any way?

I did not mention in my original repsonse - but I would use scenting of any kind as a last resort, just before force feeding. I would probably try tease feeding, braining, live pinks, etc. before scenting...

Great advice from Bill as well...
