Hi All,
I am the proud mum of 7 new baby snakes. This is the first time that my snake has had sucessful hatching so I am in complete shock. The snakes came off between Friday and Sunday night. I have no clue what to do next so was wondering if people can offer advice of the following:

When do I start to feed pinkies to the babies
How do I feed pinkies if they wont take straight away
Should the pinkies be heated up or given at a cool temperature from fridge?
What do I do if any start looking ill because they are not eating, other than panic?

Your help would be greately appreciated.

First thing dont panic! LOL

Put hatchlings in seperate rubs with water and a small hide!
They need to have their first shed before youu start feeding them which is usually a week or so after being hatched!

After they have shed give them a day or so and offer them a small pinkie! if they dont take it then leave it in with them overnight and they need to be at room temp or a little warmer!

As for the rest it no need to worry about them in less you do get a problem with feeding etc!

then ask again!

So what colour are they?
