I've never bred buttermilks; in fact, this was my first year with racers at all. After tearing my hair out trying every trick in the book to get my hatchling southern black racers (Coluber constrictor priapus) started on crickets and pinks, I tried catching a few anoles and they took to them like candy!







Shortly thereafter I tried them on ground skinks and house geckos (the latter of which are REALLY easy to come by if you go walking through New Orleans at night!), and now they'll chomp down anything that resembles a lizard. If you can't get them started on insects definitely try lizards; they worked for me!
