Do Sinaloan Babies Typically Accept F/T?

Dan_W May 17, 2009 06:08 AM

... or are they more difficult than say, albino Nelsoni? I've had albino Nelson's, and they were always great eaters, almost always accepting f/t, even when in blue.

Thanks for your input!

I have never had issues getting Sinaloan hatclings (or Nelsoni hatchlings) to feed on thawed pinks.

I think you'll find Sinaloans and similar-sized milksnakes to be very good feeders in general given the following conditions:

1. Moderate humidity. Prolonged very dry conditions is the enemy.
2. Be generous with the hiding opportunity. My kings/milks as a rule enjoy very low hides, although they will use almost any hide. Here is one crammed between a flat fake rock and a heat pad. Fake plants not necessary. In fact, they tend to get in the way.
