Yep. My pride and joy vanished. I offered him food. Went back to check on him and he was GONE, VANISHED. The worst part was his tub was next to my chair (by our floor to ceiling bookcase built into the wall). He is nowhere near the snake rack so it is wait and see if he shows up. How you like them apples? Stinks doesn't it and you thought you where having a bad day.

He'll turn up, my htachling pastel ringer went MIA on me last season. I was so freaked out because I was in the process of packing up the house and had boxes everywhere. I found him a week later, of all places in the bathtub!
I was amazed, then a thought came to me, what if he had gotten into the toilet and accidently got flushed in the middle of the night!

My guess is that pinks and crawlers just aren't active enough to arouse a hatchling's curiosity/appetite. Mice (hoppers to adults), on the other hand, do get attention and usually do trigger a good feeding response.
Sorry your BEL is missing! Hope he turns up soon!

I normally start the hatchlings off on mouse hoppers since they tend to trigger the snakes to eat. Most of the time I try f\t rats first they fail to eat them till theyve had around 5 or so meals of mouse hoppers. I had a baby het hypo male that was 53 grams out of the egg. He refused food for a month after his shed till I tried the mouse hopper. Soon as the hopper hit the tub floor he had already bit an started constricting it. Good luck finding the BEL male.
