Sorry dinna mean to highjack the thread.

Thank's everyone. I super stoked when she finally ate the pinky, I was getting worried a diet of worms wasn't going to meet her long term nutritional requirements.

No worries. I'm hoping that I'll be able to report the same success soon.

Garter Novice, I noticed someone said to cut the pinky in half length wise, as you snake may like the smell. Well Mrs. Wiggles was very reluctant to get onto rodents as well and what worked was cutting. The only difference was I got told to cut the head open, through the skull and give a slight squeeze, so that a bit of blood and brain would ooze out. After one or two tries of putting the rodent, slowly right up against her nose, so she would smell the brains, BINGO, eating rodents began and she has eaten nothing since!

Just make sure you cut it while it's still frozen. Less messy!
