Okay, this is a bit of a late response, but you didn't hear me correctly. I meant that I feed him 1 pinky a week, and after two feeding sessions I feed him 2 pinkies for that third time.Originally Posted by FloridaHogs
Sounds like yours is about the same age as mine and they have been pounding fuzzies for about a month. If your little guy can eat two pinks at a feeding, you may want to start offering him two a week, vs the one big meal every three weeks. Just a suggestion mind you from my experiences breeding and raising these guys. Most people are really into to BP's here, but hoggies are my passion. I currently have 4 species of hoggies, and have my eyes on a 4th and 5th species.I did things backwards and started with one of the more difficult species first, the Easterns. Westerns are SOOO easy compared to those. At any rate, I would not worry to much about the shed issue. As I said before, hoggies do not shed as much as other colubrids, just another interesting quirk to them.
An interesting thing I've noticed: He's grown somehow even though he hasn't shed since before I made this thread.
