ummm then how come about 10 people on here told me to do if no one does it lol? But i do agree with that it really doesn't do anything, being that I have normally fed my snake in the tub and have had 0 problems. I think some snakes are just born pissed off haha. But i did pre-scent as well. What I do is take the bag the frozen mice are in and open it and put part of the bag in the tub. He deffinately smelled it when I did that, I think taking him out of the tub just threw him off. Even though I did it 2 weeks ago like I said and took it without hesitating. SO really? Wait 5 days?
