A customer of my husbands breeds snakes and gave us a rat snake hatchling as a present for my sons birthday. Im not exactly sure which species of rat. Looks sort of like a gray rat snake to me, but Ive read that they change a bit as they get older. Ill try to get a pic later so you all can help me identify.
For the last few weeks we have been feeding it small lizards, as he wont take live pinkies or f/t pinkies either. The breeder said most likely they will only eat lizards for a while.
Any advice on getting him to accept mice? Wait until he is bigger? I only ask because now that its getting colder, it can be a little tougher to find wild lizards.
