From what I've read they're similar to Western hognoses where they are generalists with a lean towards frogs/lizards, but do well with rodents. In the future I do however plan on ordering frog reptilinks all the same to see if she'll take them to offer a healthier variety (iguana would be optimal but they don't come in sizes that she could swallow). She had been raised on pinkies though so that's what I went with to start to make sure she's eating under my care. As it is she also feeds very infrequently, every two weeks (when I fed her it was right on the dime of that time frame). Basically treat her as I do my BP compared to my colubrids.

Re: Odaria. My new baby viper boa.
I love small pythons and boas. If I see that you have a positive experience with her, maybe I'll pick one up for myself.

Neat little snakes- I hope she does well for you.

Does she spend a lot of her time buried in her substrate?
