Okay, to day I took my six baby pyros for a round trip drive of 50 miles. This was to get them sexed by my friend John. (3 males and 3 females!) So anyway I have heard that the experience of riding in a vehicle can stimulate a feeding response. I have received many baby snakes from UPS, Fedex, and the like, and they almost always eat that very evening even if they were not big eaters before. So I put my babies back in their cages and have given each one a fresh live pinky, and we'll see. Four have eaten pinks on their own in the past but two I am still having to hand feed. I am hoping the two stubborn ones will get with the program.

Has anyone else ever experienced this odd way of stimulating appetite?
