my baby grey banded king wont eat
About 2 weeks ago i acquired a baby alterna phase grey banded king snake. I bought it from a friend of mine who is a reputable reptile breeder. he told me the hatchling was well started off already taking pinkies, and he was due for his weekly feeding, so i bought it a pinkie. he wouldn't take it the first day and i figured it was the new environment he was getting used to. its been 2 weeks since i bought him which makes 3 since hes had his last meal. I've tried everything including rubbing a lizard all over the pinkie then covering the pinkies face in lizard's blood and putting the piece of tail in the pinkies mouth and offering it to the snake, and nothing he just looks at it then turns away. i'm no amateur I've been caring for reptiles since i was 8 yrs old but this is my first king and i would appreciate any tips you guys might have on getting baby kings 2 feed. thanks.
