    First feeding attempt of 3 new BP's.
    Hey all,

    Most of you know that I got 3 2012 Ball pythons recently and its been a week since I got them and all of them are doing amazing! The Normal is THE sweetest ball python ever. When I open her tub she comes to my hand and crawls up it and then wraps around my arm and stays there lol. My Cinny is still sweet as well :P. Well the Pinstripe he still hisses at me every time I pick him up but still not a problem.

    Anyways. I tried feeding everyone today and Well the pinstripe male who I was told was eating live took a f/t with out a problem and devoured it.

    The cinny girl struck and coiled around but didnt eat so I reheated under a basking lamp and tried again and she took and ate it with out a problem.

    But my little normal girl refused to eat. She just balled up and looked super cute. (pic below)

    and my other 2 snakes of course ate without a problem :P

    Of course did my weigh ins as well.

    Calypso (Cinny) - 94 Grams
    Odin (Pinstripe) - 98 Grams
    Freyja (Normal) - 57 Grams
    Pandora (Pastel) - 486 Grams

    Ekans (Corn Snake) - 87Grams

    Everyone is doing super awesome!

    Hope Freyja eats next feeding day.

    Its a great feeling when they feed. Your '12 babes are wee little things! Babies are so cute. I remember when my cinnie came in she was so small! Well she was 140 grams but still the smallest one I have purchased yet!

    its always good when new snakes eat for you. some of mine fed on f/t before i got them and i was worried they wouldn't eat live but i haven't had a problem getting them to eat live

    No feeding pics for the first feeding. Didnt want to scare them more with their first meal.

    Next week I will have pics and a video.
