The babies ate!

Pretty cool! 4 of the 6 hatchlings in our original clutch ate for us early this morning (1 day old rat pinks with big fat milkbands).

#5 and #6 didn't eat but #6 did what no snake has managed to do with me over the past couple of years - the little stinker bit me! LOL No point posting a picture though folks, I've had worse hangnails but it was pretty impressive of her to manage to get me. She's the one who tried to bite me not an hour out of her egg and I figured she'd eventually tag me - she's got an attitude on her. Hopefully she and #5 will decide to eat their rat pinkies on the next try.

The 2nd clutch of 5 hatchlings are all heavily in shed right now, pretty much exactly by the book. :)

I love baby ball pythons! :banana:

Awww! Congrats on the feedings and on the love nip! :D

LOL thanks Cass! It was rather funny. I peeked in on them and as soon as she sensed me close by she fired over to the front of her cage and went into full fury strike position. Then when I finally had to remove her uneaten rat pink I had to use a file folder I had handy to block her from getting me again while I snatched up her squeaking and uneaten dinner. She was darned determined to get in another bite if possible LOL! Maybe I taste better than rat? :rofl:

Woohoo! Congrats on getting most of the babies to eat on the first try! :pinkele::pinkele::pinkele:

Sounds like #6 is a feisty one!

Congrats Jo! You can send me that little biter if you want... it's tax deductible :)

Yay congrats!! Justrub thepink on your hands nxt time.... LOL she should eat.
