Cannibalism in baby Whitelipped tree vipers

[ugo]

The story went on.....

I had several other babies to care and given either my present loss of space and the fact the babies (individually kept) didn't start feeding, i kept the 5 whitelipped babies all together, offering them every week plenty of food (pinkies). But that had no results for about 3 months!
I was wrong!
A day 1 of the babies started feeding......on 1 of his brothers!
I was puzzled, but at last i thought better having an healthy 1 than 2 bad babies, and left the cannibal going on.
After that the babies were kept back individually, and about 1 month later each one started to accept pinkies, and now they go very well.
The other so long time for starting feeding i experienced was with my 'Aru' Condros : reluctant (baby) feeders started feeding after full 5 months after birth!
The worst af all is that Whitelipped were bred....to have a food source for my kings! I understand Ur criticism!
sorry for the pics, i donno why they come as thumbnails.
