Now if I can only get this little guy to eat then that would be great. Right now I have him and a pinky in a deli cup inside his tank. Hopefully in the morning there will be just a snake in there. I feel so bad, he definately doesn't want to be in that cup, but Oh well.

As others have pointed out in this forum, you have to try a fuzzy, not a pinky. It is like a night and day difference! I know when I got my first carpet I thought a pinky would be a pretty large meal for the little guy, but he wouldn't take it for anything. A friend suggested I offer a fuzzy and the little guy literally lunged off of his perch at it. And that is my .02.

ok, well I'll buy a couple of fuzzys and throw them in the tank. When he gets hungry enough, he'll know where his food is. I'm sure he'd rather hunt his food anyway. I see all these people doing a song and a dance just to get their's to eat lol uh uh they're hunters, and believe me if something is hungry enough, it'll look for food
