    Corn snake feeding issues
    We have a amel corn snake bought from a reptile expo. Set her up a nice tank. Left her alone for over a week. She was out patrolling all day. So having only dealt with ball pythons we defrosted a pinky mouse and offered it. No luck. Next week I tried using a separate smaller tub. Two months in I had brained pinkies, dipped them in tuna, drug them through chick inners. I was holding her and we are near to the anole cage. She is clearly interested. So that Saturday I purchased a small anole. She ate very readily. This week I wrapped a pink in anole shed and she seems interested but won't bite. I really don't want to feed anoles. Any suggestions welcome please.

    Try scenting some anoles with pinky mice to get her used to the scent then pull the ole switcheroo and offer a pinky mouse scented with anole. Eventually you ought to be able to ween her to unscented mice.
