    The Power of Scenting

    I was down to my last 3 pinkies so I had to make good use of them. I placed them in a container with some water and let them sit overnight. This way the water would be good and scented.
    My anery female T.s.concinnus - Red-spotted garter has been refusing fish and night crawlers but has never refused pinkies so she was on the list to get these. I started off with a pinky, which she inhaled. Next, I dipped a large night in the pinky water and offered it up. She inhaled it and 4 more crawlers. I also used this method to feed the anery male that is in with the girls. He needs to keep his strength up.

    Scenting is a good way to offer food that they would normally refuse.

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

    Good to see its working for some.

    I can never fool Garry when worms were involved. The little sod would always be able to pick them out from the pinkies no matter how well I mixed them up.
    Will
