>>They were pre washed, left in small deli cup with 2 freshly caught lizards and then thoroughly rubbed up before attempting to feed. Do any of you find that its easier or harder to switch over a snake that has always been on lizard diet? she was born last september, is growing nicely, but it would be nice to get her inline. finding lizards for her has been no prob as i keep 2 to 5 going in a terrarium, but any scenting tips appreciated...Dave.

Have you tried just a piece of the lizard then a scented live pink afterwards?

Also....I've found it easier to feed lizards then to switch them to pinks by scenting with their lizard of choice........some times it has to get gory....like dipping the pinky into the open abdomen of the lizard.....making lizard purée and dipping the pink in it........using pieces of the lizard skin plastered to the pinky's head......
