I need lizards to feed my snakes that are refusing to eat rodents. Where can I find them? Preferably VERY small lizards. (They are for 1-2 week old sidewinders). Any source would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hey: Emul:
You may have heard this already before and you may have already tried this before: What I do is heat up my pinkies. Pinkies are usually cold even if they are live.
I know that i can place pinkies live into my pigmy rattle snake cage and get nothing. However, if I heat up the pinky, even my very young Neonate will take mice pinkies.
It just needs to be like 98.7 degrees and I get the neonate pigmy to strike and eat right away. My neonate has never been on lizards.
Pigmy and sidewinders have pits to sense heat. use that to your advantage to get a feeding response.
Let me knwo if that helps.
here is a neonate pigmy next to a quater, dime and penny. the pigmy is about 6.5 inches. Eats warmed pinkies every meal.
cheers.
