Like i said there's not really a right or wrong.

You know it is funny I have to often nudge my snake into wakefulness to let her know it is chow time. If I didn't nudge her I think she would just miss dinner all together. Today in fact she came out and gave me the WTF look (at least that is how I perceived it) before she realized the smell of toad in her hide.

Hognoses are toad eaters in the wild so it is often a way to get them to eat mice to scent them with toad. I got a couple of small toads I froze and I thaw them (not in the water just enough to get a bit of moisture off of them to use it) when I need them and rub them against the pinks. She attacks those pinks with all the fury a more or less pencil sized snake can attack something. All hissy and strikey. So funny to watch.
