I brained a live pinkie and put it in the snake in a container. It ignored it for a few hours, so I took the tail off of a frozen adult mouse and force fed the snake. The guy I get my snakes say its easier than a pinkie head because you are less likely to brake the snake's jaw. The snake did not want anything to do with the tail, but I was able to get it all the way down. I then put the snake back in with the brained pinkie. I had to re-open the wound because the blood had dried. Right after I closed the lid I left the room to get greens for the rest of my animals. When I returned, the snake was already eating the pinkie. I hope he continues to eat on his own. Braining live pinkies is not pleasant! Thanks for the help.
