Tiny Baby Question

[aalomon]

So I just had a little ball python hatch out at 30g and she's got me really nervous. She looks very thin compared to the rest of the clutch (pic is of her and a more average sized baby). Anything I should be doing to help her out? Am I worried about nothing?



PS: Sorry about the bad pic.

Treat her just like the rest of the clutch. Except you will simply offer her smaller prey items.

If she doesn't eat you may have to assist feed or even possibly force feed her, but wait until she sheds to see what happens.

Good luck.

She is definitely a cutie..just offer her slightly smaller prey items then the others, feed her every 5 days and she should start plumping up in no time

I had a tiny one like that this year too--she shed out and started feeding normally--I gave her crawler mice at first. She's growing and putting on weight just as fast as the rest.
She did worry me, as she seemed somewhat weak just out of the egg, but she got her strength back in the days before shedding.
