In Reply to: Feeding question (snake spit pinky?) posted by audri on February 02, 2003 at 19:20:05:
:Last week, my sinaloan took it's first f/t pinky in months. (I swear it ate one when I first got it, but since then, no luck). Thing is, this pinky was spat out earlier by my fl. king. I didn't want to waste the pinky, so I stuck in in w/ the milk - half covered in sticky saliva. Within a 1/2 hour, it was being eaten. All other times I've offered a f/t pinkie, the snake ignores it, this week included. Was the kingsnake saliva the reason the snake ate the pinky?
:
It could have been that there was blood on the pinkie. Sometimes the smell of blood triggers a feeding response.
