Hello,
I am a very new keeper. The trusted source I obtained my baby pair from suggested that I keep them in very small containers for the time being. I actually do not have water dishes for them. There is a cut up peice of egg crate in their containers for them to sit and climb on. I mist them daily so they have water to drink, and it has been keeping them hydrated. I am unsure of the percentage, but I would guess around 75 or so. Just a guess.
I have finally gotten them to take 1/2 pinkies. It has taken tons and tons and tons of tease feeding. I just keep waving it in front of them, bumping them...it just seems like they will never strike the damn thing! Then all the sudden- WAM! They hit them and realize what they have done and being eating. Also I make sure my pinkies are extra warm. I do not know if that helps as they are not exactly "pit"vipers but it help for my boids so I just do it for everyone.
Hope it helps. Keep us posted on how it goes!
