    LeAnn,
    Could you please explain what you mean by "scenting" the Talipia?
    Thanks!

    You take something - worm or minnow - that the snake will eat and rub it on the tilapia so that it smells like what they are used to eating. Or if you are feeding live minnows you could put pieces of tilapia in with the minnows.
