Ok Quick question. I hatched a clutch of 10 corns out on July 15 08. 1 of the 10 would not eat, I tried everything. I finnally had to force feed after 6 or 7 weeks. I have been force feeding it f/t pinky heads for about 5 weeks and have fed it a whole pink last monday and another one thursday. I am going to pick up a live pink for it next meal and see how the goes over night and go from there. How long before you think it will be eatting on it's own?

Definitly try the live pink. Leave it in overnight and do not disturb the snake at all. You may have to feed live for a while before you can get it switched to F/T.

put the snake and the live pink in a deli cup. leave alone overnight.
call me in the morning.
if that doesn't work, you're probably screwed.
good luck,

Try a live pink in a dark paper bag over night.

I vote for the live, if that doesn't work there is getting the pink super clean with no scent, braining and scenting you can try out.

Make sure it is dark and quite and the pink is hot.
