Feeding a Great Basin

I have a young Great Basin Rattlesnake. It is less then a year and came off the desert. It is a beautiful little snake but I am a little troubled. I have had and have may different snakes but never a pit viper. The problem is I have had the snake for a few months and have not been able to get him to eat. This has never happened to me. I have tryed feeding live and frozen thawed pinkies. Does anyone have any suggestions that my help me out?

Thanks,

Gabe

Have you tried an alternate food source? We never really keep venomous snakes here but if it's like any other what about a gerbil or hamster? What about scented pinkies? How is the environment it is in right now? Are you sure it's at optimum for him? Does he have a nice tight hide spot? Have you taken into account temperature drops? Brumation?

Questions, questions, questions....

Also, you might think to put this in the Venomous Snakes section of Fauna instead of the General Herp talk. Might be able to catch someone there that doesn't check this forum category.

Good luck,
