    Feeding Update

    I've had a few issues with feeding my 2 easterns as some of you know.

    Once fall came, frogs, toads, and salamders were hard to come by. So i tried salmon with no luck, trout with no luck, pinkies with no luck. I found guppies at a pet store but they were very small. A few larger ones worked but unfortunately you cant select your feeders at this store.
    So going against the health of the snake I fed both of them a couple rosies.

    So I gave the pinkies another shot but rather than scent them with trout and salmon I scented them with rosie.

    Needless to say that worked so I'm off the feeding hook.
