15 Gram Mojave hatched out??????????

Thats TINY! I hope you manage to get it to eat something!

My twins were super tiny at 27 and 32 grams...Which is double the size of yours!!! Good luck with getting it started!

i had twins this year at 26 and 28 grams. they took a month to shed and have now taken fuzzies by the new owner. also i remember someone posting a 14 gram hatchling on ks a couple years ago. ive heard many times over not to wait till they shed and to start offering food right away. live pinky mice would be your best bet.

Thanks for the input everyone. The little mojave is doing fine. Everyone seems to have the same concern, getting the little guy to eat. I'll have to try pinkies. I just hope he likes them.

When I got my Antaresia perthensis a couple of years ago, it just weigh 4 gram! That is a small snake :)

But a 15 gram bp baby is the smallest I've ever seen or heard of..

Wow is all I can say! I hope he does well for you.

never had one that small, but I think as long as you try not to stress it out to much you'll be fine. I would just offer a pinky mouse at night. The reason I say at night is because my young ones esp with their first feeding seem to be more shy and eat at night other then in the day. Good luck with everything...keep us posted

I had a 32 gram female hatch out of a little boob egg last year in November. She didn't eat for a while now she close 500 grams and a keeper.:snake:

Too bad you can't get feeder shrews.
But very nice. My pastel is a twin, hatched at 37g, he will be turning 1 next week and weighed in at 410g last night.

I've seen 18 grams, 16 grams and one 13 gram BP hatchlings posted here. They all lived and eventually outgrew being the runts.
