I wanted to get a feel of what other breeder believe is an acceptable amount of time to wait before your assist feed your ball python hatchlings. I count days, but more often go off of the snakes appearance. Do you prefer to start your hatchlings on hopper mice or rat pinkies? I prefer to start them on rat pinkies. With that said, if you are feeding mice - are your hatchlings more receptive to mice in the beginning? Do you start the feeding timer from hatch date or shed date?

Thanks

Dwayne
