I hope so; while I'm enjoying how cute she is this small, I will admit that her current size does make me nervous during handling. My hands aren't exactly the steadiest lol.

Her face is so cute! And her head is surprisingly large compared to her body, at least to me. Makes me wonder if that's part of the egg-eating thing. She's definitely fun to watch!
Speaking of eggs, I can't seem to find any small enough for her current size, so I guess she'll have to wait for some variety until she's a little bigger. Smallest I've found are quail eggs, and they're still pretty big when compared to Lan Fan.

Re: Lan Fan the Japanese Rat Snake
Such a pretty girl! I love her coloration. Will that change as she grows or does it stay pretty similar to how she looks now?

I personally wouldn't toss out the pinkies...just feed them as a bonus after she's on fuzzies for a while (1 of each) after she's used to the fuzzy size.
She's coming right along...so cute!

Thanks! From what I understand, most Japanese rat snakes turn an olive color with a grey-ish head. They seem to lose the block shapes and get more stripey. As Lan Fan was supposedly from a "blue" line, she will probably be blue around the head and olive elsewhere. If I'm really lucky, she might even be blue all over, but I'm not getting my hopes up yet.
Here's some links to someone else's adults. I apologize if they don't work -- they used photobucket, which is fickle at times about photos :/. But if they do show, you can see the variety across the board for these guys.

I was actually considering feeding a single one off later in the week, sort of like a snack? She seems to have an incredibly fast metabolism, at least in comparison to what I'm used to. I could also do your suggestion, of course! Depends on how fast she grows I guess, haha.

Thanks to this site, I’m learning about all kinds of new species and morphs.

Those links you posted above...the first one really reminds me of Baird's rat snakes (a U.S. species, very docile). Baird's colors are variable too, silver-to-gray
with yellow or orange between the scales. (they also change appearance from when they're hatchlings) I look forward to seeing your little one grow.
Yeah, I hear they're mostly "water weight". Hopefully the push to fuzzies will give her a little growth spurt.
Baird's are gorgeous snakes! All the pretty ones seem to start off with an "ugly duckling" phase . Still gorgeous to me even as babies, though!
