Well, these guys have eaten their second meal now, and are doing really well. I have two that haven't eaten yet, so I will try live pinkies tommorrow. I've tried popping them, it looks so easy on Kathy Love's video, but I must be doing it wrong. I'll try again after their meals have digested!
How do you like them?

if you did not get them to pop, they could be females.

Well... I couldn't get any of the first 8 to pop, so I quit trying! It would be too much to hope that I have so many females!!!! Nice thought though!

Hey!,Those are some beautiful little okeetees! Jeff

very nice!!!

When they have that much orange on them as hatchlings, you know you're off to a good start. It' cool to watch them gain orange background color with each shed. I think you'll get some great looking Okeetees from that bunch.

Popping takes alot of practice. If you have a reptile show near you, it's useful to have someone teach you how (if you can find a vendor that's willing to educate attendees). Whenever I get "all females" with my corns, I try popping again on another day - invariably there's males in the mix.
