    Awesome! You'll like the ASFs. They are pretty cute lil guys. Also convenient to have on hand if you have a lot of ball pythons!

    They look great after their first shed! All of them have really nice patterns and colors, especially baby #3! That partial black back is niiiiice

    How often after the first shed do you feed? I've heard varied answers from 2 days after to 5 days after. And then what is the feeding schedule? Every 3 days or every 5?

    Is pinky or fuzzy mice better? I would think pinks would be too small

    Honestly, I think trying a f/t first would be your best bet only because 1. it will be a warm f/t and they won't know the difference and if the food response is there it's there. If they don't take it after a 2 attempts then I would try the live. Of course they will most always take the live, but if you can get them started on f/t from the start so much better, especially like you say you have quite a distance to travel. Congratulations on the clutch btw, love the pictures. Can't wait to see more :)

    Thank you everyone! I just wish 3 & 5 would eat :( when should I start to actually worry? I am already worried but I know some just don't eat right away.

    They are lovely. I think I've read some will go for a month or two without eating. Then I guess it's a good time to try and assist feed but everyone said to leave that as a last resort.
