Make sure the calcium has D3 and how much filet do you feed? I was feeding my FWC some Rock Cod filet and I didn't know how much to give.

Very nice it looks like the ones we have here on georgian bay. I had a wild one when i was a kid . It tamed down fairly quick. Seeing yours makes me want another one.

NatsamJosh: Eh Only been two weeks, haven't really worked out an adequate schedule yet. Mostly because the feedin's eratic for now.

Same here, GarterGirl, as much as I love my lapsnake ribbon, Nerodia's just come out on top in my opinion. Good luck with the breeding! Have you tried Gherp.com? They usually have them for a pretty low price.

Corey209, I'll check for that. It's made for reptiles, so I'd hope it's good... As for the amount of food, I just dice up the fish into sizes a little bit less wide than she is, and then give her as many as she wants, usually 3 seems to be the average. Maybe I'll get some pictures of her during the next feeding, so the size is shown.
Mannn where did you find your FWC? That's such a respectable snake, but they seem so rare.

wrecker45: yeah their "bad attitude" really doesn't stick, does it?

I live in Northern California, right next to the biggest producers of FWC's in the US. GBU Enterprises and the Serpentarium in Lodi both breed every season so if you want a baby check with them I think during Spring/Summer. I got my male hypo from a guy who is being deployed in a week so he gave me a deal at $150. I'm also going to pick up a red tegu with enclosure from him for $200.
