Hello Ronny,

Your english is fine- perfectly understandable. I have a pair of Rhyncophis boulengeri also, and the male was difficult to switch from live small fish to frozen thawed pinks. Here's what I did. Offered live small fish in his water dish (the splashing attracted his attention and he spent much of his time prowling around his water dish) in the evenings. Once he was eating the fish regularly, I started offering them on tongs (this only took a couple of tries before he accepted them). Then moved to frozen thawed fish from tongs. Then offering a fish on tongs and switching to a fish scented pinkie when he started striking at the fish. Then fish scented frozen thawed pinkies and finally, just offering frozen thawed pinkies. The process took about 12 feedings (3 months or so).



Here are a few feeding pictures to give you an idea on prey size.







Good Luck!
