MamaRhea, honestly I was thinking the same thing from your photos, but I'm glad that at least she's eating for you. You should know that it's typical
for snake breeders to feed hatchling or neonate snakes on the light side if they intend to sell them. Just be patient- when you raise a young snake, they don't tend
to appear to put on much weight* for quite some time, for several reasons: they grow longer at an imperceptible rate & their meals are mostly going for "maintenance"
rather than growth. Also, they're eating younger prey which are less nutrient dense than more mature ones. *So the answer for many members here is to periodically
weigh their pets for reassurance. Just be aware that any handling, including weighing, may stress out a young snake, so if yours ever starts refusing to eat, it's time
to reassess what you're doing, both in terms of housing (temps. & humidity & "security") and interaction. From where I sit, you're off to a great start.

That is fantastic information, thank you! I'm definitely relieved that we have had zero issues with feeding so far, I know that can really be a nightmare for some people so I really feel like we dodged a bullet there. I'd love to think it's because my husbandry is perfect, but more likely she's just naturally a good eater
