Ah yeah, what I typically do (taken from Rob) is superheat the prey's head (typically with as hot of water as will come out of the tap), and then parade it around in front of 'Celli. Gets a good feeding response most all the time.

Re: Got my Blizzard Corn baby today

Great thanks!! I may try that next time. Hubby sounds like he'd like to try that feeding method.

This time (as it was my first snake feeding EVER and he hadn't eaten in 2 weeks) I just wanted him to eat!! I did warm it to 96f in hot tap water and then put Khuno in the feeding tub.
