Re: eastern blue ribbon snake.
Welcome to the forum. As far as getting them to eat, you could try scenting pinkies, which worked great for my ribbons. They aren't too tricky once you find a food they eat every time you offer it. You can use that food to scent other foods to vary their diets.

Re: eastern blue ribbon snake.
if i made the fish flop around it would go and be covered in aspen..
is it ok if the ribbon eats the aspen? i tried flopping it around and the snake got interested but i stopped to worry that he would eat the aspen which could kill him...*as seeing if pacmans eat moss should i put him on something else ? |

Re: eastern blue ribbon snake.
You need to avoid letting your snake swallow the aspen. Maybe feed it in a separate container, or tweezer feed it.
