Hello all,
I'm having a little feeding problem with my 04 female eastern kingsnake. I bought an eastern king from David Johnson from Radioactivereptiles, the snake I bought was an 04 female feeding on unscented pinks. Well, my money order got lost in the mail for over 10 days, we agreed on a last day to wait, and he sold the snake. He got my money order 2 days later. He gave me the options, of either him sending me a eastern king that only eats snakes, or he could send the money order back. I chose to have the snake.
Well, at first, I didn't think of this as a problem, as many people on here know I will readily feed a snake to a snake. But, I simply DO NOT want the king feeding on snakes, she will grow slower on a diet of snakes, and I simply will not be able to provide larger snakes for when she gets bigger.
Can anyone recommend some tips or anything I can try to get her to feed on pinkies? So far, she has refused brained pinkies, pinkies wrapped in snake skin(tried 5 times, with 5 different species of snake's skin) and a mix of both of those. Someone suggested to me that I do not feed her for a few weeks, and hope that she will take some scented pinkies because she is hungry.
I am open to any ideas...
