feeding question?

[tonyb]

ive just aquired a cf05 hatchling and i want to know,, how long should i let her settle in before trying to feed her? i got her last friday and so far shes been fine, shes active, looks healthy, never balls and has struck at me once. which ive been told is a good sign. any advice would be much appreciated.

I let my new snakes settle in for about 2 weeks before I attempt feeding. Good luck with him/or her and let us know how it goes.

Curious, what is cf?

cf = captive farmed

personally I would only buy CBB from a reputable breeder. But thats just me.

the guy i got her from is well known in the uk and is highly recommended. i had a good check through them and they were in extremely good condition. to be honest shes in better condition than my cb male was when i bought him. it is a gamble i know, but shes a little stunner. when i saw her i just had to have her.

CongraTulations, treat her well.

Keep us up dated as to her progress, I'm sure she will do well for you.

shes brave alright, she struckk whilst i was taking a few snaps and missed my face by millimeters. theres a little photo of her on my photo gallery.
