I'm Thinking that I should move up to a fuzzy mouse, She didn't have ANY trouble scarfing down 2 pinkies. I was actually VERY impressed that she took the second pinky without hesitation.
Both of the pinkies from my hands (Rubber gloved).

She is probably about a month old, And I think I was recommended to small of a meal for the girl. She seems to digest within a day of eating and she eats readily after only 3 days. And since she is pretty much translucient I can see how fast she is digesting. Usually after 24 hours she has passed everything in her system. I'm new to corns so everyone give me your thoughts.

And by some Miracle of faith I got the images to work!!!!! WOOT!

Yea, thats what I have heard. No Regurgitation = good

I'm hoping I can move to a 5 day cycle instead of a 3 day cycle.
I think it would be overall healthier, giving her more time to build up stomach acids and such.

I can not wait for the next reptile show so I can purchase more beauties!!! This breed of snake has really helped me fuel a lost love for reptiles and amphibians.

I would be supprised if she was that old. She is about 25cm long now, when I got her I wasn't really in a questioning mood I was more excited then anything. I guess I should contact the store and find out.

I need to get a scale to weigh her soon.... any suggestions from the herp community on a good scale to get?
