Hi everyone, I just wanted to share what worked for me. I've had my okeetee for little over a month and purchased him as a hatchling. The last 3 weeks he simply refused the f/t pinkies i offered him. So I tried braining, and when that didn't work, just a severed head, and he never even licked it. So after searching these forums, I went out to a local lake and caught a juvenile green anole. Today, I washed a pinky in mild soap, rinsed well, and rubbed the hell out of it with the anole, and got the anole to bite it several times. Placed the newly scented pinky in a deli cup with the hatchling and presto, within a minute he ate it. I was ecstatic because I was getting worried. So if you have access to anoles, try it. Worked for me. :cheers:
