Hello everybody!
Quick question, My female (who I did not even realize was gravid) delivered 14 slugs, one dead boa (with a striped tail) and two living babes on March 20th. The babes were/are pretty scawny looking and maybe premature?? Anyway, I've tried to start feeding them with no success. I first tried dead pinkies, then live fuzzies. My problem is that in 3 days I'm leaving the country for three weeks and leaving the babes with a friend and I'm worried since they haven't eaten yet.

I had my male boa since he had his umbiical cord and he ate right away, every five days. Also the babies haven't shed yet, I think I remember my male shedding within the first couple of days.

Any help would be appreciated,
Tony.
