Woo Hoo

I read about people knowing when to feed thier snakes by seeing them cruising around thier enclosures. I noticed that, after being in thier hides all day soon as the sun started to set, or I opened the lid, they both came out and started to become very active. The guy at the show told me he had them for two weeks without feeding them, and I had them for over 5 days, so I decided to offer them live rat pups.... I now have 2 babies with thier first Rat meal, one even took it down backwards, except for the backwards part I am VERY happy. I know it may not last but for now....WOO HOO ! Thanx for the advice everyone

Thats great that they ate, but you need to put them in separate enclosures.

They are in separate enclosures, the only thing they share is the heat pad under them (half and half).

what size of enclosure do you have them in, must be small if they share the same heat pad. Anyway, glad to hear they have eaten, hope they keep eating for you.

These are the mirror set-ups I have them in, 5.6L shoe boxes. This is, I believe, the way, alot of the posts say to start them off. If not I'm sure someone can/will point me in the right direction.

Beardie: This is a perfect enclosure size for a newborn-500g ball. I like the 'furniture'; no fuss, no muss. Just perfect. I would however, do something to make their enclosures a little more secluded to avoid stress.

Thanks mykee... I only pulled them from the bottom shelf under my beardie stand so I could take the pic, then back under they went. The area they are in gets just enough light for them to tell when it's day or night and so we can look in at them every so often.
