I put a pinkie and my snake in the feeding box and the snake wouldn't eat!

I put my snake in at nighttime because he's more active at night. I cut wholes in the pre-killed pinkie so the scent would be more powerfull. When I woke up he hadn't even touched it. I used a GLAD tubawear box.

QUESTION: Do the pet stores sell lizard scent in eye dropper form?

You need to read the part about LEAVE THE SNAKE ALONE FOR A WEEK first.....then try feeding it. DON'T try feeding the snake right now.....wait til NEXT WEEK! You are pushing this snake further away from eating! Leave it alone until then.

PLEASE listen to what these people are telling you, for the sake of your hatchling. If you keep trying every day to feed this poor little one, he isn't going to ever want to eat. You have to try to leave him alone, to get used to his new place, and quit causing him so much stress. The people on this forum are only trying to help you, they have expreience with this. Please take their adivice and leave the snake alone for a week then try to feed him NEXT WEEK.
