    Small babies

    Any tips for really small babies?

    We had a clutch of 6 eggs that were really small. Only 2 survived. The snakes just came out of the shell fully. One weighs 22 grams, one weighs 24.

    Any special tips to help these little guys thrive?

    Just patience & "TLC"...& you don't know what "really small" is until you've raised desert glossy snakes (Arizona elegans)...mine were about 7" long.
    2 is better than none, good luck!

    Just monitor them a lot more closely mainly. They can't miss as many meals etc so pay a lot of attention to their body condition.
