Hi,

thanks for your answer. Yes I've tried scenting pinky mice without success. The snake finnished than 5 days completly burmation. Till it's in my home, since 06.10.07 it has eaten a small male guppie on 09.10.07 a frog on 17.10.07, Paella on 19.10.07. Than I prapered it for brumation and on Tuesday tze 25.10.07 it ate another male guppie and a frog.

I tried all to get my snake, it's called "Mephisto", eating other thinks. I even defrosted a stint and threw it into my aquarium before feeding, without success. I've dipped a stint in a fishsoup I moved a defrosted mouse on the ground, that it looks alive, and the only success was, that Mephisto bitten my finger. I've moved it with tweezers too, with the same success. I even opened Mephistos mouth and put the head of the stint in.

The most difficut is every third day Mephisto is sneaking on the floor and looks obviously hungry. I'm nearly going to be crazy with this animal.
