The florida erythristic Scott sent me proves to be the most tauntingly hard snake to get to eat ever. I finally found what she likes though... it's so simple... nightcrawlers!!! She ate like 10 of them! She even turned down a frog...But anyway, I wanted to start getting something other than just worms into her, so I came up with a new way to trick my picky snakes into eating pinkies when they don't want to! I tried slathering a pinky in worm guts... she won't go for it unless its a live, wriggling worm... so I came up with a sneaky little ploy to get my way!

Re: Cool New Technique
Not a bad solution.
I've wrapped fuzzies with "untreated" worms with some success, but that was with a pretty large female parietalis that would normally eat small adult mice.

Re: Cool New Technique
That reminds me of the Treehouse of Horror episode of the Simpsons where Bart's evil twin wanted to reconncet them- he practiced by sewing a rat to a pigeon. THe pigeon tried to fly away, they both hit the ground, and the rat ran into a wall Originally Posted by Stefan-A
