>>Since we caught the snake it has not eaten anything. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions as to what to feed it or how to get the snake to eat


strange as it may sound : dip a pinky into the water from a can of tuna fish (tuna in spring water not oil).

I had a stubborn eastern feeder go nuts for it...he would gobble any mouse dipped in the tuna water but turned his nose up to frog/toad scented stuff and non-scented. You can save the water from one can in a small lidded container and keep in the freezer so that it lasts quite a while and you don't get sick of eating tuna every 5-7 days lol. I would let the container sit on the counter just long enough for a small film to melt and rub the pinky in that before putting the container back into the freezer. Took him about six months before he started to get over the need to have tuna smelling food - by nine months he was completely on non-scented.
