Hi,
I have a Blacktail Rattlesnake that I caught in July. I have him set up in a rack system with flexwatt heat tape. He is on newspaper wth a hide box and a water bowl. There are a lot of ventilation holes in the boxes for good air flow. I've offered mice and rats both dead and alive with no success. Does anyone have any advice for getting Blacktails to feed in captivity?
Thanks,
Drew
