I missed that because I was too busy with toids and laser lites.

But your right, and I totally passed over these animals being babies.

Babies will not work in a large room cage. I take that back, some will and some won't. But I do not think that is a good goal.

With babies is all about hydration, they dehydrate many many times faster then adults. A small mistake and its over with babies. Small is to scale with a room sized cage.

I will state my normal procedure. I hatch them, start them off in 10 gallon aquaria, then move to raiseup cages, then to larger cages.

I am sure sighthunter understands this as he would never start a baby snake in one of his adult cages, would he?

Well, I am sure it can be done, but thats not how you start, thats something on the other end of the experience range.

But thanks for bringing this subject up, as we missed it. I am sure we missed many others. Thats why I think taking about advanced issues is somewhat out of place. We are missing life and death basic issues. Cheers
