Hey this may sound gross but try feeding it pinky parts, like legs or tails. Put him and the food in a small deli cup with a tight lid and put in a secluded spot for several hours. Of course be sure the cup has tiny air holes. Also small lizards or skinks might work. But since lizards can harbor parasites the best food is the pinky parts untill it can eat a whole pinky. If you still have trouble you can e-mail me at a153fish@aol.com. and put milk snake in the heading!
