About Paul
Expertise
I can answer specific questions about colubrid snakes (kingsnakes, milksnakes, corn snakes, and Eastern Indigos). I can also answer general question regarding husbandry (feeding, shedding, housing) for most other types of snakes.
I am not an expert in boas or ball pythons so you might consider asking one of the other experts specific questions about these.
**Be sure to read my past answers as you may find your answer there. I receive many of the same questions from different users.**
Experience
I have six years of experience in the keeping and breeding of common snakes.

Snakes - feeding problems

Question
i have a 5-6 inch scarlett king snake and he wont eat
Answer
If the snake is big enough to take a pinky or fuzzy mouse, then I would try scenting the mouse with either skink or catfish fillet from the grocery store. If it's a baby snake then you will need to feed it mouse tails about 2x per week in order to get it big enough to take a pinky mouse. Again, scenting the tails will help.
