I haven't had these very long, so far they are doing fine. They're C/H juvis so it's not quite the same issues with W/C. Feeding on live pinkies right now. You do have to keep them a lot hotter than a typibcal colubrid, more like a desert lizard. I know kev53 on the CW forum is working with W/C westerns and he has gotten them to do well and even breed for him. He's currently working on getting his juvis all feeding.

They are well worth the extra little effort.

There is a difference between ignorance and stupidity. The ignorant can be taught, stupidity is beyond our control.
