NEW BABY! And of course...

Zina, gratz on yet another stunning animal.

UPDATE!

Little no name girl ate [emoji4] I have had her since last Wednesday and been leaving her alone other then a quick peek a couple of times.

Today was feeding day so I presented her with a nice, warm FT rat pup. She took it and ate it quickly. [emoji4] She was on live up until now, so it was nice to see her not hesitating on FT.

Quick pics after lifting her hide to make sure she ate her meal.. With and without flash.

I have to say, I haven't had a single one give me problems yet. All that I have purchased online and were shipped started eating F/T right away and without any fuss. Even though they were usually fed live at the breeders.

I think once they are established feeders and get set up correctly, it is a lot easier.

That's why I made sure that all the hatchlings I bred were completely and firmly established before re-homing them. That meant at least 2 sheds and 5 easy feedings. For some hatchlings that took longer then for others.

I never bred BPs but of the other kinds of snakes I bred (including rosy boas, corns, kings, various rat snakes, bull & gopher snakes) I always made sure they
had a strong feeding record too, before I let go of them...it's best for the snakes & best for the owners, & like you said, some do take longer than others, but
"that's life", at least they all got the best start I could give them. The rosy boas were the most inclined to want live pinks, so typically their feeding records were
at least 10 times so I knew they were reliable on f/t...never had any complaints, but by the time I feed snakes 10 times, I start to want to keep them all...:rolleyes:

You've obviously picked excellent sources for your sneks...

Totally missed your post. That is a beautiful pickup there! Love how both the Desert Ghost and OD bring out the colors!

Beautiful Royal !!

Such a good girl !!!

Ate another FT rat pup 2 days ago. This time she didn't strike, so I left it with her. Was gone an hour later :)

Today she is in deep blue, so fresh skin to come ! Another meal or 2 after that, and I will start short handling sessions and more pics !!
