Thanks. I just stuck the worms in a container with him and left him alone for an hour. When I checked on him the worms were gone and he had worm guts on his face.

Better, actually.

What do you all feed your snakes during the winter time? I tried getting him on to f/t pinks but he just wouldn't take it. Should I brumate him?

I used to fill buckets with nightcrawlers and keep them in the basement all winter for the snakes, but just recently my little one decided she liked salmon strips, so you could try those. I don't think you need to hibernate him as long as he is eating well, but I'll let the pros give you more info on that!!

I'm in New York. We are due for our first frost tonight so I'd imagine all the worms will be digging much deeper in the coming week.

I'll try and offer him a fish again. He didn't accept it the first time I offered. I already tried rubbing worms on a pinky but he wasn't falling for it.
