My little stubborn Motley finally ate on his own :crazy02:
Bad news is that I sacrificed a live anole. I could have tried the skin on the pinky thing, but I ran out of pinkies and thought, "What the heck" and my husband went out and brought home a live anole today. He put it in the feeding container with Motley and TEN minutes later, Motley was coiled around the anole and promptly swallowed it.
Now, I am going to 'back-track' on my methods and try a anole SCENTED pinky next time. Can anyone give me advice on how to convert a snake who apparently has a huge aversion to pinkys to switch back to them after eating (and relishing) a live anole??? The little buggers are too expensive to use week after week.
I am HUGELY relieved he ate on his own though :grin01:
