Rosy/Sand boa

Edie. I would put all the snakes in deli cups for feeding. I would put the sand boas in separate deli cups with a live pink. The rosy I fed in his tub. I would just wiggle a f/t pink in front of him and he will take it off tweezers. I put the hog in a deli cup also and would take the scented pink and wave it in front of his nose, so he can get a good wiff of the salmon or toad. Once in a while he needed to be enticed and tap it on the end of his nose. Also i forgot to mention. I would wash the pink wish dish soap to try to remove rodent scent. I didn't do it the last time he fed, but he seemed to take them more eagerly when i did.
She held her Tucson Blonde and the smithi.

Okay great, I feed my 2 corns in seperate containers so I will do the same when feeding the sands and hognose. Thanks for the feeding advice!
Good job with the smithi! There are some days when she would let me pick her up, and some when she would almost bite me! Shes actually the only tarantula I've ever owned that came close to biting me, but it only happened once. Glad you can hold them now!
