I bought a pair of hypo syspila from Jeff Hardwick two years ago. Jeff force fed them mouse tails until they were big enough to eat a tiny pinkie head. When i got them they were on heads and I quickly found out that if I cut up the rest of the pinkie, they ate that too!
I have heard of many milksnake guys starting their tiny babies on mouse tails until they could take a pinkie head, or as I found out - pinkie parts.
Most people are really against scenting of any kind. I had a few tri color hogs two years ago that just would not eat. I tried tuna fish. I ate the tuna fish and then used the liquid to scent the pinkie head and had much success, Maybe as a last resort.
Wish you all the luck - twins are very cool.
Steve
