Thanks, Katt!  Yeah, they were good sized babies and grew about twice the size in a month.

Wow how exciting! Thanks to you I had a dream about a class of kids buying spilotes and tormenting me that I missed out! Thank goodness I have my own already!

Very nice! How's it doing for you? Have they fed yet?

Thanks Simon! Yes, they have all eaten and all but one took f/t on the first try. The that didn't eat on the first try ate f/t on the second attempt. One of the first eaters stopped eating and will now only take live. I'll get him switched over as soon as he gets well established. But all the others eagerly take f/t.

That's absolutely outstanding! I've heard that they can be a bugger to get started...
What's your feeding protocol?
All the best,
Simon R. Sansom

After thawing I take the fuzzy (or peach fuzzy) mouse by the scruff of the neck with a pair of hemos. I walk the mouse around the cage and up the branch. That is usually when they show the most interest. They strike at anything in their enclosure (territorial) and once they figure out it's food they are striking at they grab it on the second or third strike and eat it. Now I just have to put it in front of them, LOL. But it's more fun to watch them stalk their prey.

Wow thats a real beauty. Are the adults as bad as they are made out to be? I saw 2 at the Toronto Zoo and they were amazing. They also had impressive size. What is the average adult size? They would make an excellent show animal. I dont have any room for any more animals right now so could you all hold off on posting any more pictures for a while?
