Hey Crow.
Sorry the washing didn't work. Lets hope you find something that will help your baby eat. Have you tried live? Good luck with him!

...as the crow flies...
Yeah I tried live once. And I'm not ashamed to admit that was a bit heart wrenching. After leaving it alive overnight with Hobbit and seeing him more scared of the pinky then anything I seperated the two and tried to keep the little mousie alive as long as I could. (yes yes I know.. I'm a compassionate dumbell at times 
) Anyway, since then I've been working with thawed from frozen mice.
I've had such great success with my first corn that Hobbit has been a real frustrated learning experience. I just hope I find the answers before it ends up being too late for the little guy.
I may have to try live again. Just not looking forward to it.

Well, there's tuna water scenting, anole scenting, gecko scenting, chicken soup scenting.
About the force feeding- I've been keeping my Eastern Hoggy alive by assist-feeding her since December. She never ate for me by herself even once. She's gaining weight like crazy and even opens her mouth without me having to pry it open. We're doing three pinks, because they are just easier to get down. She's 40g. I guess I'll try to let her eat on her own again in the spring. She's also not afraid of me and is the gentlest snake ever. It's not the end of the world. I've read several anecdotal accounts of snakes who were assist-fed for several years who suddenly decided to eat on their own.
