We had only one cal king baby hatch this year and when he didn't start feeding on mice, he got treated to disposing of our cull cornsnakes (non-feeders, pre-killed before offered).

He decided he prefered fresh killed snakes and I have no more to cull, so have been trying to get him to take mice. Last night I rolled a peice of freshly shed honduran skin over a thawed warmed peach fuzzy and he gobbled it down!! Nice little trick to get one converted over.
Should have taken a picture but didn't want to disturb him this time. The mouse looked pretty funny with a 'snake shed sweater' but I guess it smelled right! Hope this cal king is on his way to being a typical hog about food!
