The practical side of this is that the generous souls that are trying out the testing will most likely be looking to sell their hatchlings as well . . . who's going to buy a cornsnake that will only take banana scented pinkies?! It's bad enough that some need to be lizard scent, soap scented, etc.

I highly doubt they would ONLY take that scent, the findings in the study were simply they were more likely to take it, or ate more volume of the scented food.
