>>After trying to get my baby laticinctus to eat for a long time, I finally got fed up, left a thawed pinky in the cage for a few days. Turns out the little boogers wouldnt touch the pinky UNTIL it was 3 days old and rotten, then they gobbled it right up.

I experienced the EXACT same thing with a baby laticintus, a baby pictigaster, and also with a couple of newborn A. p. leucostoma. Very interesting to hear you've had the same thing happen. I thought maybe my snakes were just weirdos.
