They look pretty healthy to me. One thing I noticed is the head to body ratio. With sand boas at that age that have been power fed you will usually see little pin heads. I have a couple that started as power fed babies and they still have these tiny little heads. I also had a few clutches this year that had absolutly huge babies that started on fuzzies and they seemed to grow quickly before they shipped out.
I,like Chris also tend to start moving to a by-weekly feeding schedule with my hold backs after they hit the fuzzy/hooper range. Who am I kidding, I do a by weekly feeding with many newborns as well! lol. Pinkies can be hard to come by somtimes.
