It was off tangent the first post you made, the second post answered my question plus you gave information in support which I appreciate.
Thanks to the USAF, I have had the oppurinity to be stationed at Holloman AFB for the past 7 years in Otero County, NM. So I have been able to collect a vast supply of different local scents: great plains toad, plains spadefoot, red spotted toad, tiger salamander, collared lizard, mediterranean house gecko, and banded gecko.
Under the same conditions, I introduced all those scents first and she didn't take any of them. However, when I got to the salmon she took it without hesitation. Why is that?
I would love for her to feed on unscented mice and she's almost back to it. It's really no big deal as in only adds a minute to feeding her. Only the tip of the nose is dipped in the scented water now. Truthfully I am not going to be bound by what is in the western hognose environmental dietary constraints when in this case she took something totally different from way left field.
I am going to do what I think is best for her from the hints or clues she gives me. Thank you for thoughts and opinions on this matter as well.
