I have 2 hatchling Alterna that are so freaking stubborn.

I've tried scenting using house gecko, side blotch and I should note even used saliva from a side blotch, anole...no strikes or refused completely. I've tried live pinkies scented and non scented, f/t pinkies scented and non...no success. Braining didn't make any difference. I even washed the pinkies.

Heck, I even took one of them with me in the car and drove for a good 15 to 20 minutes with no success. The second Alterna is with a man named Ray who used to run the IRBA shows. After 2 failed attempts, I hope to hear good news with the third and final attempt. I am crossing my fingers while I call him tomorrow. Phew, I am out of sorts as these guys are killer looking. Does anybody have any other tricks or methods? I was considering holding the snake by the neck with a pinkie in the other hand and tease method but I am hoping they will eat on their own as they have lots of egg yolk in their system. It doesn't look like they will ever catch on though so I am freaking concerned or worried.
