Introducing Dr. Coil

Thanks GyGbeetle. He is not captive bred, I found him under my desk at work. If Tsubaki is accurate about the second part of your question, than yes, he eats thawed pinkies. That part took a heck of a lot of patience, mainly because he (and I'm guessing racers in general) is an extremely nervous snake and if I moved at all after getting him to capture a pinky, he would drop it an run. He is a voracious eater now though, gets all excited as soon as he sees the tongs come out. I'll keep posting as he grows. Thanks all.

LOL yes, I meant to ask if you've switched to rodents/frozen thawed. Was curious because I want one myself but they're near impossible to find CB. I have heard they can be pretty difficult.
