Hi Randy

Congrats on your moellendorffi and glad to hear they have been eating so well for you.
I have 2.1 that I got in 2006 as hatchlings via Kam T (Bushmaster) but from a Colorado breeder who has been producing them for quite a few years - TN - (not sure if you know him but I know he prefers his privacy). Unlike yours - mine were difficult feeders from the start and none of them would take anything larger than live fuzzy size mice for the first 3 years. Then, 1.1 turned around and began to take FT mice and finally FT rat pups. The other male continues to only accept live but at least he will now take small live rat pups.
Mine are now over five feet and heavily muscled, true constrictors. I was intending to try and pair them this year but circumstances have left me unable to brumate them so I'm not too optimisitic of the success. Hopefully next year...
Best of luck with yours. If I do manage success I will keep you in mind if you would like

Cheers
PatD
