I have a couple who are pretty small and lookin for ideas to let them try to start out on. Thanks scott

I've never seen one so small that it could not take a pink as first meal. You'd really be surprised what they can swallow!

I do recommend getting day old pinks, if you can, though. They're small enough to be a first meal for any corn. But, if you really think that the smallest pinks are too big, you can freeze a pink, then snap off its head. Defrost that, then offer it to your corn. It'll be fine.

But I really do think they'll all take day old pinks for you!

Meeses pieces is like Reeses pieces without the ET attraction. The are small round and… well you get the idea. I never seem to fail on having miscellaneous mouse heads and other parts in the bottom of a bag of pinkie mice, it is kinda like the crumbs on the bottom of a chip bag LOL. But seriously pinkie heads do work and if you have a snake that just refuses to take mice then small anoles work fine for the first couple of meals. I live here in FL and have an endless supply of them, you should see the look on my neighbors faces when I go into the yard catching these things. It seems hard for them to understand why a 40 year old man, living in a gated community would be chasing little lizards around with a fish tank net, but none of them have ever had the nerve to ask LOL.
The biggest problem with Anoles is getting them to switch back to mice, you might have to go through the scenting process…
Good Luck
