matty theyr'e 13-14" always wriggling when i try to measure them though.
A gues at how old they are? considering I've had them for 2 years but they haven't really grown. filled out a bit though as you can see  Carolina still for sale if anyone's interested. |

You really should get something to check the temps with in the next few days. You can pick up a thermometer for £2. |

Well as fluffs really fill them up and two pinkies kind of amount to the same size as a fluff and they dont fill them up as much so 2 pinkies each twice a week :)
Mmm i need a thermometer although i think the viv is too small for two, the leaves cave log and waterbowl cram it up :/ (I had to remove the cave for the photo as theyr'e so lazy ) |

You should sort the heating out before changing their tank. |

2 years old, are you sure? - They look like hatchlings. Although you are feeding them as hatchlings.

i doubt they will eva grow much more now! you have stunted them, you obviously dont feed them much, if at all! it looks to me as if you bought them, then did a little bit of research but it should have been the other way around! |

Or bought them and then 2 years later did some research?
Anyways, what weight are they?
Go for a prey item roughly the same girth as the snake and probably feed weekly by the looks of them.
Without knowing the girth I can't guess the prey size, but I'd guess small adult mice at least. |

Hello mate, i am not having a go at you, but you should really be feeding them alot more than that, maybe a rat fluff or two weekly.. they may grow over th next few years if you bump it up but just research and do your thing i am sure it will work out.. |

if they really are that small then you dont want to up there food to big size right away, you should try feeding them every five days to start with as they are so small, you should increase the size of prey as they grow that is in line with there width of there girth.
I have a nine month old corn who is bigger than yours, not a lot cos she went missing for a while and is still small, but she is now on two pinkies every five days and soon to be moving up to fluffs every five days.
you also need to sort out your set up, get the temps right, you can get a cheap digi thermometer for three quid on ebay, are you using a stat on the heat mat?
Wish i was closer, i would have that one you have for sale. |
