I hate to say it but I give up kind of easily on stubborn milk snakes. Out of the 2 clutches (6 and 3) of mexican milks I hatched out this year only 4 are feeding regularly. And out of the remaining 5 one of them died and the other 4 are still steadily refusing anything I put in with them. All of the other ones eating were eating f/t day old pinkies from the start.
These ones have refused f/t pinkies, f/t brained pinkies, live day old pinkies, pinkies scented with anoles then stuff their mouth with an anole leg or tail piece. And they've refused f/t baby anoles. Since I don't live down south I can't just go catch live baby anoles, I almost bought these baby alligator lizards from a pet store yesterday but the lowest I could talk the guy down to was 11 bucks each (I originally asked about them because they looked like ground skinks to me).
And next step would be to shove mice tails down their throats but I don't think I'm ordering more mice until next year. So I'm kind of stuck and out of tricks.
