And you thought incubation was the hard part ;D
Not sure what you have tried? For really stubborn feeders this works well ! Put them in the incubator in separate tubs and leave them alone far a week. don't hold them touch them period! After they have been nice and warm and secluded for a week take paper towels or news print and fill the whole tub with crumpled news or balled up paper towels! Fill the whole tub to the top!the next night put in a hopper and leave overnight . Try the paper bag method first! Get a paper sack put the snake in it add a hopper and then roll the sack down until its about 2 in and hold it closed with a clothes pin or potato chip clip. Put the bag in the tub and leave overnight. Been super busy I will get back to you!

I just slowly waved a pinkie in front of him and he hit it tried to coil it but dropped it, I picked the pinkie up and did it again. He struck it and did a full coil them ate her down. I'm going to use the the paper bag method if they don"t eat by week three.

One male baby ate 5 meals and is now at his new home  . Two more have had multiple meals, and the last one took his first meal last night. He was a slow starter. |
