... when snakes eat. The 5 babies I hatched on August 24 ate for the first time tonight. All of them are around 50g so I fed them hopper mice. 3 of them grabbed the hoppers as soon as they were dropped in, but I has to wait on the other 2. I'm glad my sister is more patient than I am because I would have given up and removed the mice and tried again in a few days, but she convinced me to keep waiting.![]()
