Cool Feeding Technique

asnakelovinbabe May 13, 2009 07:17 PM

The florida erythristic Scott sent me proves to be the most tauntingly hard snake to get to eat ever. I finally found what she likes though... it's so simple... nightcrawlers!!! She ate like 10 of them! She let fish die in her bowl. Did not eat them. She even turned down a frog... :eek: I dropped a worm in front of her and you would have though I gave her filet mignon. But anyway, I wanted to start getting something other than just worms into her, so I came up with a new way to trick my picky snakes into eating pinkies when they don't want to! I tried slathering a pinky in worm guts... she won't go for it unless its a live, wriggling worm... so I came up with a sneaky little ploy to get my way!

Great trick, and great looking snake. How'd you come up with the hot water on the worm?
