Not many new threads, so here's my biggest 2014 hatchling with her runt sister

I hatched out bloods in June 2014, and one of the bunch appeared to be a surviving twin in a rotten egg. This little one hatched out at 26g, and has not started eating yet. I did start assist feeding, as it didn't absorb much yolk. I'm still doing this lightly and taking breaks to try to give the little one a chance to eat on its own. I never sexed it, and it's still at a meager 51g. I really hope this little one comes around!

Compare that to one female with the calmest personality straight from the egg. She was the first to start eating (though all took a while to get started) and is now at 381g empty. This one is one of my keepers. The parents are Red Bull bloodline snakes and I am hoping her color ends up nice. I have a great blood for education events, but her color's not great. I want a brighter education animal. That's my plan for her, anyway.

Awww, tiny little thing.

I hope it survives for you.

Good luck! I hope the little one makes it. They're gorgeous!

They're both gorgeous girls (?). I hope the little one comes through. She's made it this far, showing she has a strong spirit. I think she'll be just fine.

Wow I've never seen a blood so small. Keep us updated on the cute little one. They are both beautiful!

How's the little one doing now?

*poke poke* How's the little one?

It finally shed, and passed some urates and stool. It's still not eating on its own, though.

Don't give up. She may start eating on her own when you least expect it. Keep us posted on her progress.

It was that little snake who made me look at the Bloods and decide I want one. :bow:
