I have a very strong suspicion that the babies eat when they get hungry, which is when they have fully utilized their yolk reserves. Today I hand fed each baby a lizard scented pinky and the smallest baby tore into that pinky in a most ravenous frenzy. I was very happy as this was the littlest baby, although he had eaten a pink on his own a couple of weeks ago. Hand feeding just entails getting the snake to bite the pinky. Then I carefully sit the snake down and leave it to the business of eating. As time goes on the feeding response is improving with all of them, so like I said, once the yolk is gone they want to feed. Then whatever exotic trick one may have been deploying at that time seems like the trick that worked. But the snakes were just finally ready to eat.

The habitats they have are the same set ups I have used with my other pyros as babies and they all ate.

So what happens with monitor lizards at 200 degrees Fahrenheit; do they really explode? LOL!
