Feeding Problems

[Noh]

I've had my snake, Penelope, since January 6th. I've been attempting to feed her a f/t pinkie mouse every saturday with no luck. She's shown zero interest in the mice. I even let my roommate poke a hole in a pinkie's head because he "read that might entice her." It didn't.

I went to a hobbyist store today and they said she might want live mice, and if not those then feeder snakes or anoles. I have no problem feeding live animals except for the danger it poses to Penelope once her prey is old enough to fight back.

I bought a live pinkie mouse and put it in her viv, I hope she eats it.

They said it was unusual for kingsnakes not to eat. She even shed two weeks ago. But still hasn't eaten.

Regardless, any tips if she doesn't eat the live mouse? It sounds difficult to obtain small snakes or anoles to feed her. I'll do it if I have to, but dang.
