 Call me crazy but it worked

Well a new discovery has been found i tried it and it worked. This will shock u but if u do it right it helps for a snake thats not eating. Ready---- Ivory bar soap----- what u do is rub it all over the pinky or rat or w/e then wash it really good so that no bubbles apear anywhere on the mouse ( about 2 minutes -3 minutes) then the sent of the soap triggers somthing to the snake making it want the food item. Now it doesnt work with any other soap only Ivory bar soap. I tried it today for my spotted python because he wasnt eating and it worked. this discovery was made by ASU herpitology department. Way to go ASU

Hmmm i thought that was only to wash the scent off. You mean there is actually a chemical which makes the meal more ummmm "mealy" to the snake?

I don’t have that problem but perhaps if you put a bit of the soup in a plastic container will holes in.
Feed the snake next to the container.
If it is a stimula then its not the taste its the reaction. Like when your hungry and smell something really nice.
I’m just juggling ideas. For those people who might not wish to cover the pinkies/mice in soap.

Well, I always say I’ve tried everything to get Boots onto rats, but I stand corrected. I’ve never tried putting ketchup on them, mocking her by making a Mr. T. puppet yell "I pity the fool don’t eat rats!", or washing them in Ivory soap. I’m skeptical that it will work, but as soon as spring rolls around and her eating season starts again I’ll give it a shot.
