You say you have tried just about everything else. Have you got your hands on some used mice, gerbil, hamster bedding or some lizard bedding to put the pinky in a bag of it so it starts smelling of the rodent/lizard? Have you actually cut the pinky in half just behind the front legs rather than just braining it?

That's an idea, changed my mind, not going to pet shop today as don't need it till next week, if the bedding is pine based which it probably is, is it still ok to use?

I am sure the rodents you buy for all your snakes are kept on shavings that may contain pine. You only need to put the pinky in with some of the bedding to gain the scent of the animals droppings etc then remove the pinky to feed. Its the actual oils in the pine bedding that some feel can cause problems if a snake breathes the fumes from the oils in for any amount of time.

Sorry to hear that :( some are just not made to live. It's sad that its happened to you x you could have a postmortem done to find the cause and let the breeder know and also would give an idea of signs to look out for x

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I just wanted to say how sorry I am Scaly - I was on a break from the forum when this happened so only just read it. I had seen the little RIP in your sig but didn't like to ask. So sorry poor little Skye didn't make it xxx
Think we may have a problem
