Amazing pics - how do you manage it? Twiglet is beautiful - can't get over the eyebrows!
My only suggest is to consider feeding outside the viv so that he doesn't swallow any substrate, or feed on a mat. |

| He looks very interested in his food, its good for a snake that small to constrict properly |

Bubbles never constricts or even strikes - he's lazy. He waits for you to put the mice down and leave him alone then he just creeps up on them. Going to try him on his first fuzzie this weekend - can't wait to see how he reacts! |

| Nice pics- but I agree with abbiegreenleaf that you should feed outside the viv to avoid twiglet ingesting any substrate. Or but some card underneath, which would do the same job |

if a little corn swallows substrate it could end up lodged somewhere in the gut, or it could get stuck whilst the snake defecates, neither are particularly pleasant. if feeding in the viv invest in some paper plates to serve Twiglet's meal on to try to prevent this
only other thing i'd add is pinkies have very short tails, you're brave using a small pair of tweezers, lol |

i'll do that in the future then,cz it was my 1st time feeding her i wanted her 2 feel comfortable in her viv lol. and as 4 the tweezers.. yes ther tiny! haha :D nevermind! stil got my fingers :)
as 4 the photos - i use the manual setting on the camera 2 take my photos, so i can control how they are taken (focus/lighting etc)
thanks 4 the advice guys :)
