    Babies of all species are cute & appealing, plus they don't out-grow their smaller quarters, & their food costs less... For the most part, their growth will catch up ok...bear in mind that nearly ALL c/b snakes eat better than do their wild counter-parts, though personally I would never under-feed any snake in my care...but it's a rather common practice among those with commercial interests.
