I have been holding the snake in one hand while feeding it with the other. The second hand is holding a hemostatic foreceps (think combination of scissors and needlenose pliers) with the pinkie in it's jaws. It was the only way it would feed after 3 weeks of no food after we got it. Then every week after that, it worked to give it a pinkie this way. It also worked with my Milk Snake (to some degree). The pinks are always f/t by placing in a ziploc bag in a dixie cup of hot water for 10 minutes or so. The last two sessions she bit me ON THE HOLDING HAND during this and seemed to not like this method any more. I put the pinks in her habitat and after a while she took one, but overnight didn't take the other, so I discarded it. The last 2 times before this she took 2 pinks, but this week only one. She doesn't seem to like eating in a separate container.
