Re: New pick ups

Nice additions! Make sure to post some post-shed pics of that hypo if it hasn't shed already! It's got some great color even for being in a blue phase.

Re: New pick ups

Thanks everyone. I'll definitely be posting lots of pictures. After they're all settled in. The seller said they're due for a meal but i know we're supposed to hold off from handling and feeding but i don't want them to go too long without a meal... What do y'all think?

Re: New pick ups

Very nice pickups! I personally never feed something in shed and always wait at least 5 days before offering food to anew addition.

I wouldn't worry about when they were last fed at all. I wait a minimum of 6-7 days after arrival to offer food, and like Andy I don't feed snakes in shed (if I know they're in shed if they'll even actually take the food).

Babies aren't as hardy as adults, but baby boas can still go a long time without food, so no need to worry about them taking some time off of food. I feed my boa constrictors under 1 year every 10-14 days and they do just fine on it. So, they eat more often than an adult but less often than you would think.

Re: New pick ups

Beautiful additions . I try to avoid feeding in shed as well, however I do offer food quite quickly after getting the snakes!
