how to scent pinkie with egg whites??

[kuester]

yes hard boiled egg whites. pet stores around me don't have frogs or frog scenting stuff... i would never try a chicken wing, chicken or insect for a snake. would've never tried hard boiled egg whites either but it did work and I'm happy he's eating them but i wish i could get him to eat the pinkie instead. i have him in a 10 gal tank full of hides can barely see substrate and a water dish hot side is 92 and cool side is about 76. i could put him in a smaller 1/2g cage but wouldn't really be room for anything then. the breeder said all of their snakes must voluntarily eat twice before they sell them. so my snake ate twice for the breeder thats it, then he was shipped overnight.

Bring up your cool side a bit. You can put him in a smaller enclosure until he eats. Who cares if everything is tight together? The snake doesn't. Everything to a snake is something to move over.

What's more important? Your snake eating or how much space is between the cage furnishings?

Pics/video of the egg whites being eaten. I remain skeptical.
