Corn won't eat without a blanket!

Not really a feeding problem, just thought it was funny. I fed my baby corn last night, a F/T pinky. First I tried dangling the pink in front of him, no dice. Then I left him to it, placed the tub a few feet away from me and acted like I was ignoring it, however I was watching out of the corner of my eye. Still no interest. I turned all the lights off in the room, still, nothing. I placed a blanket over the bin, checked five minutes later, and little Monty had feet sticking out of his mouth!
What a picky little eater! Haha.
 
LOL I only have one now that will only eat with something over the feeding tub usually a shirt or towel but your rite about them being Picky. I converted one over to eating without being covered I hope I can get the other one to do it.
 
Well, I figure as long as they are eating. I've lost a few hatchlings this year and believe me, I'd rather have one that needed covering to eat than one that won't eat.

Oh me too! I actually think its kind of cute... like a magic trick.
See the mouse? See the mouse? Now we'll cover it with a blanket and WOOSH gone.
 
Very true Pugsley Having 27 snakes to feed you can gather some will be picky. I do what ever it takes till they eat it. I would prefer each eat just by me laying the pink in the tub and letting them have at it. I drag, dangle, tease, cover you name it and it takes time from other things I need to do. I don't mind so much but trying to get them to yield to an easier way is helping me out greatly. some are coming along some are just plain set in there ways.
