Well i found the trick...frozen pinkie heads. after her first meal in 2 months she finnally caved and ate 4 heads. it is getting harder to see her spine because she is beefing up. Again thank you FR for the help. i Think the humidity played a huge role in it also.

I've always believed that (where I live = very dry air in Winter) humidity increase helps get baby mtn kings and baby milks/kings in the mood to eat. Even helps with graybands. It is not always the defining issue, but it is an important part of the equation I believe.

Alot of folks live in areas where humidity is moderate and so probably do not notice the difference, and many rack systems allow for moderate humidity because of low ventilation, so maybe again the humidity level isn't really thought of as a role player.

When you stick a humidity probe down a burrow, the humidity is rather stable and moderate, but the soil is not wet or damp. And since kings spend 99.9% or their time underground, one can conclude that those conditions are the favorable ones most of the time. I don't know if my logic is correct. I'm guessing really, but my kings seem to thrive when I approach those conditions, and their skin tone is top notch.

Good work with the Cal king.
