Help! Problem with speckled king
Hi, i'm new here. I am having a problem with a wild caught speckled king. He/she is about 12-15 inches long. I am trying to feed thawed pinkies because I live in the middle of nowhere, and the nearest pet store that sells live is over an hour away. I have had him/her for almost 2 weeks, and have not been able to get him to eat! I am thawing the pinkies correctly, using feeding tongs, and wiggling to make it seem alive (exact method I used with my store bought banded king). I even tried rubbing an anole i caught on my porch all over the mouse so it would have it's scent....A friend suggested this, and the thinking was that there are not many mice running around here, but there are LOADS of anoles, and I know kings will eat other snakes, so maybe other reptiles? Still a no go....any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
