Re: Finally a proud snake keeper!
What a pretty girl! Congrats again!
You're feeding her mouse pinks? A mouse pink is not a large enough meal even for a baby Brazilian, you should feed several at one go if you want to use those (starting next week, that is -- let her settle for now). A better option is rat pinks, or -- if mice are all you have -- a mouse hopper.
Brazilians will eventually need to move to rats, as they outgrow individual mice before they are even half-grown. Generally, they will max out at medium rats, with the rare individual big enough to take large ones.
Good luck, and keep us posted!

Thanks! I honestly felt as though the mouse pink wasn't enough because there was hardly even a lump after she ate with me. I will do some searching and see if I can find some rat pinks or mouse hoppers. I have two frozen mouse pinks still. Will that be a suffice meal if I give her both at the same time?

Re: Finally a proud snake keeper!
Three or four would be better. But it's much better than nothing! :-) Good luck!

Re: Finally a proud snake keeper!
Well she took her second f/t meal for me today! I fed her a hopper mouse and she took it like a pro no hesitation or anything. I think this is the perfect first snake

Not really only because my iguana is named Bubbles after the character on Trailer Park Boys so and Trinity is another character.
