I scented a cardboard box with a Reptilink and put it in Wiggles's enclosure. Snakes are wary of unfamiliar things. I hope that prolonged exposure to the Reptilinks scent will reduce his fear so that he will more readily feed on them. After I put the box in his enclosure, I went to wash my hands. When I returned, Wiggles was already poking his head into the box.
It's been two weeks since he fed, so I know he's hungry. I'll carefully observe his behavior this week for signs that he's truly ravenous. Hopefully, ravenous and familiarized with the scent, he'll take his Reptilink unscented.
