My order of pinkies arrived today so mice was on the menu.
Peachy wanted nothing to do with them. I tried scenting with worms slime but she would release them as soon as she grabbed it.
On one occasion she started to spit it out so I pushed it back in. She quickly moved away leaving the pinky.
She looked like a kid eating Lima beans for the first time.
I was finally able to get her to eat one but it required a real slime job.
In time she'll take them unscented but for now I'll be happy with this.
I really like this photo as I caught the glottis open(inhalation).

That's where you went wrong. It should have pinky pieces and a nice chianti.

Peachy is out of the "I don't want to eat pinkies' mode and is into the "I'll eat all the pinkies" mode.
She was the first snake out to get one this afternoon.
Her scenting pinky days are over.:D

Hey I just wanted to let everyone (who lives in the USA and feeds their garter snakes pinkies) know that Frozen Mice, Frozen Rats, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Chicks and Quail (http://www.rodentpro.com) is having a special on extra small pinkies, .12 cents each they sell them in lots of 100, I just placed an ordered with them for the first time, their shipping charges are a little higher than average and if you plan on ordering from them enter coupon code "RP0412" it will give you $10 off your order.

I just ordered from them recently. I was very pleased with their pinkies and the way they pack them. Wish I had known about the coupon code! I actually found their shipping charges to be about the same as other companies I have ordered from.
