Well I got my frozen pinkie out and thawed and warmed him. Cut his head off and put him and eden into a smaller container. I left them there for about an hour, then went back. She was trying to climb out, and the poor pinkie just lay there. I carefully put her back into her tank. I have to drive into a larger town to get more pinkies, I called the pet store I got her from, I found out that they fed her live pinkies while she was there. So, I'm back here looking for more advice. I will try the brown bag next time and leave it over night. It was just someone at the pet store told me if she had not ate in 20 mins, she wouldnt. So, anymore advice guys, I do appecraite all of this.

Repeat the process with the deli cup and decapitated pinkie but this time place the deli cup in the snake's tank and leave it there overnight. Don't check it until the following morning.
They will sometimes eat immediately and sometimes wait for hours.
If this doesn't work with a F/T pinkie then try it with a live pinkie.
If that doesn't work then try taking a razor blade and cutting a slit in the pinkie's head. I know this sounds terrible but you just need to decide which is more important. Getting the snake to eat or the pinkie.

...Right now you need to get him to eat. Worry about switching to f/t later. Duffy
