I'm pretty sure Craig was referring to feeding baby ball pythons with pinkies, since that is protocol at some/many of the Petsmart/Petco stores and what is often told to buyers there. Ball pythons should be started with hopper mice, not pinkies, since they are much larger as babies and typically eat small adult mice after the first few meals. (Hatch weights are somewhere around 40-70g I think? Something like that.)
Pinkies are definitely needed for baby corn snakes as they're too small for anything larger for a while. Congrats on getting yours to eat!
Dianne, you just beat me!

It still amazes me how many stores provide misinformation....pinkies for bp’s, hot rocks are okay as are unregulated heat sources...particularly UTH.I know there wasn’t a lot of info available when I started in this hobby (read obsession lol), but we did have books, a few good stores/mentors, and lots of trial and error. Today there is so much information available online that even a little dedicated research can weed out the misinformation. Everyone will still make mistakes, that’s just life...sometimes stuff happens.
