I had a clutch of 14 emeralds born on 12/28/08. Half have shed by now the other have not. I tried feeding the half that had shed already tonight with no success. I tried live day or two day old pink rats. Temps are monitored by a herpstat thermo at 83 degrees f. Humidity about 70-80% during day and allowed to drop at night. 3 of them struck a few times but just grab it and dropped it and the rest just ran. I tried the feeding session for about 2 hours between them all. Not wanting the pinks to die early I fed them to my other snakes. I used both rubber tipped 12" tweezers and 18" hemostats. Gonna give it another week then try again. Any suggestions or sure fire tips you guys might have?
