What do you want to know? I have kept quite a few. Most are stubborn feeders. I have had females lay eggs for me, hatched them and released them.

Just curious what you were feeding them, and if any of the babies ate for you? How long did you keep them?
Thanks,
Chris

I don't know about Tim Cole, but I fed my "tenere" pinkies, and they ate them readily.
My "trick" was placing them (the snake and 1 pinkie) in a gal. glass jar with about 1" of playsand for a substrate. I would leave the snake overnite and usually it would eat.
I have tried this trick on easterns, and I haven't had any success with it.
Also, I have heard, that specimens from around Beaumont/Port Arhtur area readily eat pinks without the forementined process.
