O.k. Guys I am now the proud keeper of 3 baby coachwhips thanks to Mike...as you may have read from earlier posts.
My 'plan of attack' is to keep them going now through our British winter using the UV tube,plus heat and to offer pinkies twice a week.
Also I see now,first hand ,how tricky they are to get feeding
*pulls hair out*...All 3 refused tease feeding,so I VERY gently
opened their mouths with my smallest wire-probe and popped a pinkie in ...all 3 then carried on to swallow the pinkie on their own.

Those with experiance (Bill,William,Kev,Roy etc.) please comment and advise on my methods.

I can't tell you all how thrilled I am to get some babies over here.....I REALLY WANT TO GET THEM INTO ADULTHOOD!!

Best wishes Paul
