A bit of an update. Out of nine snakes so far that have been offered Reptilinks (milk snakes, rainbow boas, rosy boas, hognose), two snakes have accepted them.
The two that accepted them -- a rosy and a hognose -- will strike and attempt to swallow any organic or inorganic rodent-sized object that I hold out on tongs; I'm pretty certain they would swallow appropriately sized potatoes. Surprisingly, one of my most ambitiously feeding rosies struck, constricted and then dropped a link. Overall, Reptilinks have not been a big hit -- they don't come off as overly palatable.
I'm offering the links inserted into FT prey that the snakes will accept -- a bit tedious and slightly messy, but it may work alright to get the variety I'm trying to add. Next time I'll order smaller sizes so that I can use them as fillers.
How's it going with the Reptilinks? It's been a few months. Any luck getting your other snakes to take them? I have an order of Megablend links for my Children's python coming in tomorrow.
