Do they eat live newborn pinkies?



Yes, they also can eat F/T pinks, but live is usually easier.



At what age do you sex them & how? Pop or probe.



I probe after they eat (a week or so after their first shed). I would NOT probe any snake if you've never done it before. Have someone with experience show you the proper way.



They look too small to try & pop them.



I think popping is even more dangerous(in my opinion)...I would avoid this method personally, but again you need someone with experience to show you the correct way.





Good luck,

Rusty
