I've noticed the f/t do smell different..

LOL.
Don't think I'm weird or anything, I wasn't putting my nose up to an frozen anole and sniffing it. Just something I noticed over the years after using so many of them.

For the most part if a snake will take a live anole, it will take a f/t one, it just takes time and patience. Sometimes you have to stop feeding the snake for a little while, then offer it the f/t one, it should take it if it smells like food...

I dug up some pictures the other day that took a few years back when I last kept a colony of southern ringneck snakes. These guys had the most variable diet of any ringnecks I have ever kept... There was a water bowl with rosy red minnows in it at all times, and throughout the day you could see them going "fishing" in it, and catching some. They would eat baby garter snakes, anoles, tree frogs, worms, frog scented pinky mice, basically anything I threw in there became a meal.
