    Re: Baby Sand Boas!!

    They've all shed and eight of the eleven have now had their first meal. I picked up some mice from a friend (time to get back into mouse breeding) and the first litter was 7 babies, so I was a little short on live pinkies. One of the others took f/t, the other three did not. I'll try them all on f/t next feeding, then I should have some more live pinkies for any holdouts.

    In the last three years of breeding the parents of your baby I have not had a single baby refuse its first meal.

    Eating machines they are.

    That's certainly true, Wes! That Momma is an amazing eating machine! She has never refused a meal - even just before the babies were born! We're having so much fun with these snakes - both the parents and the babies!
