Well you have a lot more hatchling experience Deb, Ive only owned about 8 total Constrictors within 32/33 years of keeping and a couple I got as sub adults.
The 2 Balls I have now were around 59-70 grams if I can remember correctly and I got them around 3 - 6 months old. Even though they were from reputable breeders I believe the 6 month old was maintenance fed.
Most take to eating right off the bat without trouble so something is going on with this lil guy.
I haven’t seen the 10 gallon setup that is being used and do not know if heats regulated or what ambient is. If that was mentioned in another thread I missed it. Also wondering if there are hides provided. All my Balls eat with just their heads sticking out of a hide to this day at 2500 grams and years old.
