    PeteyAnn and the Pinky

    So now that PeteyAnn has shed she is back to eating her nightcrawlers... Tonight I got another pinky for her but she is so not interested. I put a few worms in with it to try and get the scent on the pinky put them all in her feeding dish she picked the worms out right away and then went to her hide. Any ideas how to get her to eat the pinky

    Hold off feeding, let her get good and hungry. Your hungry snake is much more likely to take a scented pinky.
    Make sure the pinky is covered in worm slime.
    I bet she'll take it then.
    Just an idea.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    No luck I guess she only likes worms and I noticed that from withholding food she has gotton a little aggressive I don't know if it is because of spring or she is upset with me. I guess I will have to add some calcium

    Aggression, maybe hunger.

    Make sure she's not getting too warm.
