Wretched Little Beasts...

Lizard scenting: FAIL.

Maybe they'll eat if they know they're being made famous on the interwebz.

Note the difficulty of shooting a determined-to-escape snakelet one-handed...

Chillin' in their hatchling condos

LOL you tell'em Rev... maybe I should bring you up here to explain it to them!

If anyone is interested, I still have seven available, only one feeder though. I can't ethically sell them until they are feeding; once they do, they're $25. The creamsicle morph goes for around $70 at the one local pet store that even gets creamsicles. Corns are very easy (and cheap) to care for!

Next feeding strategy: tease-feeding, a.k.a. whacking them in the snout with a pinkie until they get annoyed and grab it. Hope that works, next thing to try is braining and I'm not looking forward to braining live pinkies. Guess I'm not as much a hard-ass as I like to think!

General consensus on the Source cornsnake forum is that they are probably still living on yolk from their eggs, since they are lively and not thin-looking. The eggs were pretty big as I recall. So I'm not that worried about them, but it's a total pain in the wazoo to keep wasting money on pinkies that end up under the peony bush. And I really need the loot from selling them, too.

I agree.

They're even better looking in person.

How much do I hear going for the starving snakelets?
