wash and dry on paper towels, the frozen and thawed pinkie or pinkie parts.

take an old margarine tub and place the scent item in the bottom... minnow, or worm

(for those who want to be as humane as possible, freeze the worm before placing it in the tub)

Take a pair of scissors and mince the worm or fish into very tiny pieces. The more "juicy" the product is, the better. KEEP mincing after all pieces are very small. You will end up with a soupy mess.

Insert the pinkie or pinkie parts into the soupy mess and stir with the scissors until thoroughly coated. Wait 60 seconds. roll the food around in the soup again and wait another 60 seconds

using clean forceps or tweezers, remove the food items and place them on a very flat dish (the peanut butter jar lid or the margarine tub lid work well) and place this in the viv.

I have a really high success rate with slow and non feeders using this method.

You could try 'posting' the pinky part......just as the last of the worm is about to disappear gently place the end of the pinky part in the snakes still-open mouth, it normally will just continue swallowing.
