I have tried frozen mice, live mice (Both the correct size) frogs and bullfrog tadpoles, and even crickets. She (fat tail makes me think it is a girl, read that Mole kings are like that) won't eat any of them. I have her cage set up properly with the one exception of a manual heat lamp rather than one on a timer. Two hides, one on the warm section, one in the cool, a water dish in the cool section (to keep from getting steam) a basking rock over the heat pad in the warm section, and various other rocks for shedding. Using the same pine chips we use in our horse's stall, and the tank is one foot by four feet, and a foot and a half tall. HOW do I get my king to eat? Tried braining, and putting her in a RUB with the live mouse for a while (NOT a biting mouse, just a fuzzy, she isn't big enough for full sized mice yet.I haven't tried scenting yet, as I am not sure how it is done. ANY help would be appreciated, I have a very limited budget with this snake, but I have plenty of time and craft abilities if I need to make stuff.
