I had a western coachwhip that I had the same problem with. He was an adult, but I couldn't get him to eat anything but northern alligator lizards. I tried scenting pinkies and rat pups, but he would not touch them. I hope somebody has an answer to this question.

Thanks,
Kevin

: I have seen several posts on here regarding feeding rodents to racers and whipsnakes. I have tried in vain to get them to take pinkies. Mostly it has been snakes that I hatched or had for a few weeks to gewt a photo. Has anyone have any tricks to get them over to mice, other than the standard scented or brained pinky tricks?
