A different type of scenting.

I have been looking through the forums quite a bit lately. I have found a particular type of scenting I really like and I haven't seen it mentioned on here.

I was working with a baby green anaconda for a customer. He couldn't get it eating. I tried several things and the only thing she wanted was chicks. And she took them Instantly. She had absolutely no interest in anything else. She seemed hungry but refused anything but the chicks. This next part is a little graphic. I took the scalp of a frozen chick and put it right on a large f/t pup and she took it instantly. Her next feeding I plucked some feathers off of another frozen chick and put them on the head. I decreased the amount of feathers to a mere bit of fuzz. She just needs that little bit. And the rats are far more nutritious. Eventually you can wean down to nothing.

I have a young male carpet that refused anything but mice. I tried this method and it was an instant hit!
