| Hi guys, just thought I say my hatchling had her 1st feed tonight!! After a little tail rattling while trying to get her out,put her in the rub with pinkie and within 2 mins she was on it and gobbling it down!!!! Very chuffed indeed! She's back in the warm hide now, cosy I hope. But back to the rattling business, is this a normal thing for hatchlings to do? |

It's normal and is her showing that she's not too happy. Just a reaction to feeling threatened. As she grows and gets used to you and being handled she will calm down.  |

Nice! It is quite exciting to see them feed for the first time, it nebver gets old!
As for the tail rattling, just remember to let her/him get used to its surroundings, as well as you.
Also, @shaunb: Hey, my snake used to have the name "Apophis" as well. I renamed her though. Funny thing is, they are both the same color. |
