GOOD LUCK!!! I hope you get that little guy to eat.I tried everything that was suggested. Scenting, braining, put pinkie and snake in deli dish overnight, use forceps and hop pinkie around tank, crickets and force fed small chunk of nightcrawler. It was drinking water but still would not eat on it's own. Had the proper temps and humidity. Aspen bedding, dark hiding spot, water bowl, etc and the snake finally died after a month of not eating. I have since read that sometimes you can not get a W/B Eastern baby to eat at all in captivity that is why W/B's make it little more challenging to keep. Am I correct on this one???? I still have an interest in hognose snakes and would still consider one in the future, although, I think I will seek out a reputable breeder and go that route.
