Yeah I had a good number of them take to scented pinkies.

Out of all of the small snakes these guys seem to go for anything that smells like what they eat.

Try rubbing a salamander on a pinky and see what happens.
If it doesn't work, leave the snake alone for a week...
And try again.

Any success? Put up a pic of the snake too. I'm still waiting for you to show me exactly where you found that one in Chatsworth. That's one of the snakes I hope to find around here (Chatsworth).

Sweet, Aaron. Is that the one you found in the carpet?
