New snakies!

Congrats on the new additions shelly, but the 2 babies in the 40g tank is not a good idea. they should be in a smaller tank or tub, to reduce the risk of stress.

For now just keep them in individual 6qt tubs, with 1 hide 1 water dish.

Yes defiantly downsize their enclosures or section the one they are in to maybe 1/4 of the tank for each baby.

That just hatched baby really needs to be in a six quart tub. Do you have any experience getting hatchlings started on their first meals?

I hope your not keeping them in the same tank. It could really stress them out. They like to feel secure and one way by doing that is by them knowing there the only snake in their home besides when there breeding obviously.

they aren't in the same tank. 2 are in the 40 breeder, with 2 hides on the hot spot and cool end so they don't have to compete. Usually one is in each rock. The other snake is in a 20 gal long by himself. They're pretty small so the two in the breeder have a lot of space, and many hides to choose from.

ok so they are in the tank together. small snakes like that do not need a lot of space, they will get too stressed out? that tank is way too big. u need to start looking through the posts to find info on how to care for hatchlings, especially the one that JUST hatched.
