I am not familiar with the particulars of the Fox Snake, however I have been successful getting wild caught rat snakes to eat frozen in the past. I used a couple of techniques, such as offering first a live pink, followed by a frozen, eventually frozen was also taken. Also try warming to warmer than room temps, and making sure that the pink is thoroughly dry, leave this over night in the enclosure, and do not disturb. If this is done as part of a regular feed schedule you shouldn't have a problem. Let me say though again I do not have any personal experience with these particular animals.

Respectfully,
Jarrett

I have a baby wildcaught fox snake that is eating live pinkies now. I want to make sure that when it is an adualt it will eat the frozen mice. I have tried giving it frozen pinkies but it wont eat them.
