Baby Spilotes LOVE lots of movement in their prey. Put the snake in a container in which it cannot be bothered. (somewhere where it won't be spooked by any movement outside the container)

Take a LIVE fuzzy and PINCH the tail, so it's hopping around alot.

Toss it in the container and leave the snake alone. Temp should be 80-82F. High humidity is good too...which can be attained by using slightly damp cypress mulch for bedding.

This should work if you have a healthy snake. It may take a while and some patience to get it over to f/t...you may have to "tease feed" it with tongs to get it over.

good luck!
