I've had several kinds of racer hatchlings to raise over the years including blues. Probably why I don't have any patience left. Most refused convenient food although some did eat their siblings. I had good luck with baby garter snakes, medium luck with very small wood frogs and toads, and so-so luck with brown anoles before they decided mice were the tastiest food. Once that corner was turned, they were insatiable during their rapid growth period between roughly one and two years of age.
