Craigslist Save

Well, the good news is that they're not too thin... surprisingly. :rolleyes: They are obviously small, but somehow seem to have kept a decent girth - so I bet you'll get them to a good size in no time. Congrats, and thanks for saving them!!

Yeah, it's weird that the previous owner knows what a het pied and a pastel is (both cost a pretty penny), yet doesn't know how to feed them properly. Especially since, from the look of things (keeping records and such), they have intention of breeding possibly for profit? Well, I really don't know. I don't keep records - but that's because I never thought I'd need it. The vet doesn't ask for it when we go to have them checked out. I always considered records as something you need to keep if you intend to sell/trade your snake.

My 2010 is actually weighs more than them its strange but they all seem content. I'm gonna go pick up some mice today and see if they're up to eating so soon they were last fed a month ago

So I just fed them all 1 adult mouse to see if they'd take it and they all did! So at least I know they aren't starving right now and I'm gonna see if they'll accept small rats next feeding :)

SWEET!

Yeah. Put some weight on them babies! Hope you didn't have any other snakes in your quarantine... I'm being very negative, I know... but I can't shake the feeling that there's gotta be something off about those guys...

They should gain weight fast. I picked up a 07 normal from craigslist and it weighed 280g back in June. I weighed it yesterday at 1180g. Puts away a medium rat or multiple smalls each week.

Just an update for everyone but ive let them adjust a little and i took pictures of them all today! :) http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/4278/003rs.jpg Honos
