I always set them up seperately in shoe boxes w/a hide and a water bowl! They're easy to keep records on that way! I always make sure the paper towels are wet and it's always a good idea to change the papertowels within the first 48 hours, as little pieces of umbilicus normaly fall off and they get "funky" real quick!

Go to Youtube (.com).. And all you have to do is type in what you want to know.. Settin up hatchling balls, feeding problem feeders, feeding hatchling ball pythons.. Anything like this and you will get videos and videos and videos of people showin you step by step what to do... GoodLuck!

after they leave the egg most people put them into a shoebox tub with wet papertowels and a small water bowl. leave them in the incubator until they shed.

once they shed set up each baby just as is you would any of your other balls.....ie....right size container, hide, water bowl.

give them a couple of days then try to feed.

you'll be ok, just be patient.
