Thanx for the replys...I found a local petshop that carrys pinkies and I'll pick one up tomorrow and see if that works...I've also searched a few other posts and some mention "braining" and force feeding them mouse tails if they are picky eaters...I'm hoping that it doesn't come to that !!!

Thanx again...Mike

I would definatly try to avoid force feeding if at all possible. That is very stressful. Yes kingsnakes eat other snakes but most will eat rodents as well
