Care is pretty much the same as for balls. They can be finicky eaters when they first hatch (natural prey is lizards), but once they're started they eat quite well. In fact, their feeding response can be pretty intense as they get older. My female tried to eat my son last year. The snake is only about 3 feet long, and built like a kingnake, so no real damage done. He did have a bruise on the back of his hand that was outlined by a neat little snakemouth shaped dotted line! Ever since she laid eggs this spring, she has been a sweetheart. I am careful to let her know that I'm not food before picking her up though.
