This I have to share,Bugarit (and Bugarum)were bought as captive farmed,fresh off the banana boat,never before fed newly hatched babies.
After many patient assist feeds-hold snakey and gently rub food item along side of mouth,wait for him to bite down and coil,then put back in box-well that's how I did it,I am rewarded with this joyus sight,

First ever strike and coil what a brave chap we are

here's Toby-a well practiced strike feeder demonstrating the same technique
