    Re: Running out of tricks, need advice

    Just as the last of the worm is in the snakes throat, before she closes her mouth, you delicately place a piece of fish or pinky in, directly behind it....so the swallowing action of the snake continues uninterrupted. It takes a bit of practice but it works well for me.

    I did this with my big boy Cremepuff and now he takes them without scenting or any other tricks.
