    YB up dates

    If you are not aware of their story, then here is the link....

    http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...917#post843917

    The larger one of the two weighed in at 44g, ate as soon as shed and has never missed a meal. Now weighs 180g

    The smallest one weighed 36g at time of hatching and didn't eat her first meal till a month later.... a month isn't a long time in the scale of things, but when your born not carrying all that much weight it changes things!

    I actually force fed her 3 weeks after hatching.... she looked a little thin and I prefer to do this at a time when hatchlings are showing signs of being a little thin.

    8 days after being force fed she took her first meal and hasn't missed a meal since. And has since taken 12 meals.

    She now weighs in at 132g, yay!

    And here she is....





    Here is the other female, they are both girls!







    Here they are together....



    Hope you enjoyed and thanks for looking!
