milksnake not eating!!!!!!!!
I caught a baby eastern milk snake about 2-3 weeks ago in my yard and he hasn't eaten anything. About 4 days after I caught him I tried to give him pinkie mice, I left it in my 20 gallon aquarium for 30-45 minutes and I could tell he tried biting the pinkie mice but not much. He's about 12" big and has shed it's skin about a week ago still nothing. So I put the snake in a tuberware container with the pinkie mice and left him over night to see what would happened still nothing. It is a VERY DOSILE SNAKE it never tried to bite me ONCE it just wraps it self around my fingers. It would kill me to have to let him or her go. Should I try crickets that are smaller cause the pinkie mice looks to big for him? My mom said "I could keep a snake if I take care of it my self" and this is a crap sandwich without bread if it cant eat, so what should I do?
