hello i was woundering what everyone thought about this,,what are the best lizards to scent with?im having a hard time finding blue bellies were im at,this is for a nelsons milk snake,,Thanks for ant replys,,,Greg

I usually can get nelsoni and sinaloans to each pinkies pretty easily. You may have to "brain" them. I have used Lizard Maker with stubborn baby Grey Banded Kings, and it works pretty well. What I've found works best is to rinse the pinkie off in clean water, and dry it with a paper towel. Then take another paper towel and put a few drops of Lizard Maker on it and wrap the pinkie in the wet part of that paper towel and let it stay in there for about 10 minutes. Then feed it to the snake.

One trick that works for me for Nelsoni and Sins is to put the pinkie in a deli cup, put the snake in there with him and leave him alone for a few hours.

thank you Old Herper,,i have tried all of those ,asept ,scenting with lizard maker,were do they sell this i have never heard of it before,thanks again
