Left it :( That he killed it, though, gives me a ton of hope. I'm betting I just looked in on them too soon for his liking (I check at 15 min feeding live) and threw him off his game.

Yeah that can be a big problem with shy babies. For the first live meal or two I try to find very small hoppers or even large fuzzies that are too small to hurt the snake, and then don't peek for an hour or so.

Thanks! A large fuzzy would have been perfect. If I can't turn one up in a few days, I'll go ahead and just give the little guy a bit more time with another small. My local pet store is a great, consistent, source of mice, but breeding my own was definitely better.

Update . . . #6 has eaten! So, all of the snake points now belong to Ax01 lol

Yep. Followed bcr229's advice and left him alone with a small hopper for an hour. It totally did the trick. And thanks to everyone for their support and good mojo on this thread. You're all totally awesome. :salute:

Just curious, but do you have a picture of the 6th baby's head from the side? Just wondering what he looks like, lol. Im glad he ate, it's great that you saved him :D

Wow I am in LOVE with the low white baby on the top of picture number six! They are all beautiful! And I'm so happy that little #6 is doing well :)
