Is it okay to just get some type of clothing or cloth and spend a day or two with it on me and put it in my snake's tank so it can get used to my smell/me? Also what temp. should I keep frozen pinkies at? My freezer is on "4" (recommended) for freezer temp from 1-7. Thanks

As long as your feeder rodents are frozen solid you are all good.. I am not sure if your serious about the shirt thing, but in the event that you are.. I would think you would be wasting your time, and a shirt as well..

I think the shirt thing works for dogs not snakes but who knows.

In retrospect, maybe the shirt shouldn't have been waved in front of her face. Oh well - live and learn!

BTW, the Rosy eventually calmed down on her own.

I'd say it worked just fine if you're trainin the rosy to be an attack snake...

I think if you put the shirt in a bag with the mice the snake will show some added attention to you. Ha.

Thanks for the help guys, I heard the shirt thing would work for snakes, but I guess it doesn't matter. Btw, Viborero, how'd you get the snake off your shirt?

....I had to carefully work from the back of the snake's mouth in order to "unhook" the shirt from her teeth. It took a while, but we got it.
