Well she feed, unfortunately live.. But shes eating and she is exploring her new enclosure, seems to be much less "stressed" now.. I also held her for a few minutes and she was content flapping her toung every now and then "smelling" me.. Not NEARLY as balled up as before.

Thanks for everything guys..

Another good tip I tried with F/T (all though it didnt work for me) :

Run the head under HOT water for a minute then dry it off.. The heat "should" trigger the feeding.

I am going to try this with my garters.. They are more then ready for pinkys.. The bigger of the two will eat three big night crawlers per feed.
