What you do with Ivory soap is wash the mouse in Ivory to remove the smell of mouse urine, and rinse it well.

"House" geckos is what works well for kingsnakes(in FLorida). Whatever kind of gecko is found where your snake would be found, in the wild. Probably North American natives. It is especially not recommended to feed amphibians which aren't native.

Also, sometimes scenting with "wild" mouse bedding, rather than lab mouse, or trying a different type of small rodent pink, like hamster.

But really I think if anything will work, it's reptile/amphibian/fish scenting. Or actual parts.

Oh, I forgot toad guts scenting. I have a friend that swears by that. You can keep the toad frozen and thaw as needed, then refreeze.

Some people put a little piece of anole shed or gecko shed on the pink's nose.

Good luck...
