Hi,
adults are in a 1.20m/1.20m/0.80m terrarium, and i keep babies in 0.30m/0.20m/0.20m plastic box, i feed them in the evening these box in the darkness.
Tease-feeding works well for the most of babies,it is often the best solution, but a lot of patience is sometime needed.
Some babies prefer dead preys put down in the entrance of the hiding place at night,Some other eat only alive pinkies.
If nothing works, hold the snake just behind the head and touch the snout with the pinkie, andThen it going to bite and to hold the pinkie and the most often swallow it, if you don't move!
