A different type of scenting.

[Jim Smith]

Actually, I was trying to find a solution to a similar problem I am having. I have a young Honduran Milk snake that will only eat pinkie mice. I tried a slightly larger rat pup (not at all too large for this snake) and he would not take it. He crawls up to it, tastes it and refuses it, but if I put in the same sized mouse, he grabs it right away. I think I'll give your method a try to see if I can get him to take the rat pups as well so I will have that option when he is full sized. Thanks for sharing.
