    I've been offering pinky strips to the ones that prefer fish, and yesterday one went for it

    Re: Fussy Checkereds

    If I offer mine straight pinkie parts they MIGHT eat them. If I mix the pinkies with worms or guppies they seem to eat them by default. ( I do wet down the dish to spread the scent better. ) They also seem to prefer heads, tails and legs of pinkies to torsos. But thats just my weird bunch of only 3.

    Re: Fussy Checkereds

    I always start my babies on worms if they are generally a worm eating species. All of my checkereds started on worms last year... dunno whats up with yours! Sometimes though you do find snakes who have an adverse reaction to worms. They take one tongue flick and they BOLT in the opposite direction... kinda funny!

    Yay! Go Steve!
    I got Mama to take a little bit of salmon today, she usually avoids it like a plague, but would eat the mixture of worms, tilapia and salmon, as long long as there was more tilapia than salmon.
