Success! My Rhynochophis finally eats a pink!

Finally! After nearly two months of trying to get the little guy to eat something other than fish, I caught him just after he ate the first fish and presented a fish scented pink in water and he grabbed it. YAY! Only a matter of time I know, but I really wanted to get him onto pinks so he could get more nutrients (and to avoid the whole parasites from sickly feeder fish situation). Now to wean him off of fish scented prey over the next month or so... Wish me luck

Two of my snakes ate for the first time today (bimacs..born August). At least yours was eating fish. I had to brumate this little pair. Good luck with them...

PS: Should be able to get minnows from a bait store that would work good
