Re: Today's Deliveries
It's pretty cool to watch them eat. I would definitely say go for it if you're thinking of getting one, just make sure they are eating quail eggs without any issue so you don't have to try finding finch eggs. Mine came from Outback reptiles and he has more. I would recommend him because he knows how to get them feeding before he sells them off.
I'm not sure I could've obtained a video even if I had known they were going to eat because the room was dark at the time, I just thought I saw the snake eating the egg and though, naw they wouldn't be eating yet, then I looked again and the mouth was wrapped around the egg, very impressive for such a small snake and worried me a little. I checked back 15 minutes later and the entire egg had been swallowed. This morning, I found the egg shell as the only remaining sign. I put another egg in there tonight for #2. Maybe once they have been in captivity a while I can train them to eat during the daylight.
The croc skinks are working out well, too. They seem to eat a lot. Basically I drop worms or crickets around the entrance or sides of the hide box and they grab them up. One actually pulled on the worm while I still had it in my hand tonight, lol, they must have come in really hungry.
