Do not scent. Here is what you should try first:

Get a small container like a chip dip container, coolwhip, etc.-something that isn't clear and is small. Punch holes in the lid. Put the snake in it with a regular washed, warm f/t (or whatever you use) pinkie. Put the container containing the pink and snake in a warm place that will get dark at night. Do this in the afternoon around 4:00-7:00pm. Keep the snake in there until morning with the pink. In the morning the pink should be gone. It works most of the time. Just keep trying this. Hogs are very good at fasting and will normally eat when they know they need it. Just try not to get frustrated over it like I do sometimes.
