Caught a small (15 inches) female mole king 2 days ago. I offered a f/t pinky tonight scented by placing in a small snake bag with an earth snake and dekay's snake that I hunted out this evening. Not sure if was the scenting or not that did the trick but she ate it. Good thing for the little snakes too because they received a pass back to the lumber pile.

I know what you mean. I had the same problem years ago with some OBX hatchlings. Had to hunt up ground skinks and slice them open after freezing them and rubbing the pinky in the entrails. Sounds gross but it did the trick. I learned this method from Howie Sherman.
