lol i wouldn't go to all that for a corn, my trick i've used 8 times with 8 non feeders has worked first time EVERY TIME so far.

You need:

1 baby corn

1 pink/fluff

1 waxworm pot.

Put fluff or pink in waxworm pit, put snake in tub with food, shut tub leave for 3 - 4hrs, check back result is usually no mouse fat snake.

Question

Well my grter snake struck at the food which made me jump, and then he spat it out after about 2 seconds and won't eat it. I only got him yesterday should this have been expected? How long until the pinkie 'goes off'?

edit: I brained the pinkie and it was gone in seconds.

well heres my tip, bred albino burmese and boas and had lots of fussy feeders and this has never failed to work,i just used this on 2 non feeding baby royal pythons (after 1 assist each)and i ahve only had them a week and they have now both eaten 1 pinky each and 2 fluffs the trick is to deforst the crawler or prey item in hot water then when its soft and defrosted you should heat the prey item up with hair dryer so that the hair is dry and then offer to snake and it always seems to work with me

Another tip i was given and have started to use is, as we know Oct - Apr is winter them breeding season, if during this period you snakes refuses and is not in shed,

dont panic and instead of offering as usual offer on a monthly basis,

if after 2-3 months they still refusing, just stop offering until april,

all you have to do is weigh once or twice a month and keep an eye for any serious loss, if it a few grams here and there its nothing to worry about, what you are looking for is larger amounts (100g+)

Once the season is over down size you royals home (if in 3ft move into a 2ft), place in a food item smaller then they usually take and leave, once taken you can slowly build them back upto the original size food, they may not start taking straight away, therefore try using the basic methods (brainin, death wiggle,warming etc etc)
