Like to eat. I've tried pinkies and anoles they were getting skinny so I force fed mouse tails. Does someone know their favorite food? I know it is ground skinks for scarlet kings.

Try live day or two old pinkies. The smaller the better, and once they eat one or two on their own, there should be no stopping them! I have one that is just a little piggy when it comes to feeding time!! She is gonna be a serious rat wrecker when she hits adult size!! LOL
What part of KY are they from? Mine is an '03 from a Hopkins county female, and is still pretty small. Once they start growing and putting on the weight, they turn out to be some very nice snakes!
Good luck and post some pics!

Thank you, I got three on a trade all the guy knew was they were from a wc mother from kentucky. One did try to eat a pinkie but he spit it out I guess it was too large. I might have to do the mouse tails a few more times until they can eat pinkies.
