    Id freeze it, shut your eyes and chop 'em up! (just a few peices of toad) than put in chunks of worm, and fish, in a dish. Done. Yummy!! look, I know it's gross, but you said it yourself, you need to get him eating something else!
    Very true, And I have 5 in the freezer currently

    By the end of the week he WILL be eating worms

    He seems to be a little picky to have been WC!

    Actually, should I just skip worms and go straight to Pinky pieces?

    No, I personally think a varied diet is best. I like, pinkies, worms as the the main diet, and some fish.

    How big is your snake again?

    He can handle whole pinkies. No need to chop. That is, if you're buying small enough pinkies. You have that option when ordering online.

    Which ones would be best for him do you think?

    Here is a post I just made where I'm holding him to get a better idea how round he is and how big his head is...

    He also ate Toads the size of a nickle or quarter... So do you think these would be best?

    Re: How to: Scenting Worms???

    I'm sure those would work!

    You want to feed them stuff around the size of their head.. A little bigger is ok. I think either of the small pinkies, or really any pinky is probably ok.

    Like I said, I'd still try to get him on worms, but pinkies are great and worms is never enough.

    Sometimes it takes hunger to make a change.
    Once in awhile I'll have to withhold food from a snake for a couple food cycles.
    Once they are good and hungry they aren't so picky.
