I TRY to feed them the day they shed......I get better odds of eating that way ......don''t know why ,I just think it's true...some will eat no matter what and some are going to drive you crazy for 3 weeks no matter what.....

.......some will eat the day of shed or even a day before if you like to try.......the shed is usually clear enough that they look normal......

.....I use fuzzy mice first meals usually.......rat pinks if you like..........

.......after like 3 fuzz meals I use hoppers then small mcie fairly quickly.........they can eat mice at hatching but the mice scare the snot out of most of them.......

IF they do not eat rat pink or fuzzy mouse..use a hopper....dark colored..the jumping and running around works ....don't leave them in more than like an hour or so...?......not all night......

..

Buy US born and bred snakes........
They just taste better.......
NO artificial flavor or color added.......
