9 clutches this year, 54 hatchlings. 52 started feeding within a month or less, Only 2 wouldn’t kill and eat for over 2 months, they started getting thin.
yesterday I tried assist feeding them a fresh killed African soft furred rat pup. It was violent wrestling with the hatchlings, but in the end, it worked. They ended up swallowing the prey and are sitting on the heat digesting.
I hope they will eat on their own now...any way, that was a weird snake keeping experience!
