try dipping the pinkies in the juice from a can of tuna and then leaving them in the deli overnite or making them "dance" for the snake by holding it with a pair of tongs and wriggling it. Also make sure the pinkies are really good and warm and totally thawed. Your snakes may need to sense that heat to get the urge to strike. With some of my neonates i've had to resort to live just-born, still-bloody pinkies. You can try braining the pinky first by crushing its head or if it comes down to it, hold the snake and wriggle the nose of the pinky into its mouth. They will usually take it from there. The last resorts are force feeding or pinky pumping. or sometimes i just mess with the snake till its mad enough to strike and then stick the pinky in its face so it bites it instead. this can take a long time but it usually works. good luck. sera
