any luck with the anoles??? hoping you were able to get some of those stubborn eaters to feed...Dave.

Yeah, I am interested,too, in the anole feeding.

I read that baby snakes can go up to a couple months on their yolk before commencing to feed. Also read to try frogs. well, I have a whole kiddie's wading pool full of little tree frogs and tadpoles, so am trying that on my two reluctant eaters today. Putting the snake in the deli cup with the frog and a live pinky hoping if the snake will eat the frog it may move on to the pinky.

Keeping cats allows man to cohabitate with tigers. Keeping reptiles allows man to cohabitate with dinosaurs.

good luck with that. sorry to see your kinked baby passed on. Had a kinked baby greyband last year that didnt make it also...Dave.

Does this answer your question?

I received the anoles yesterday, and 4 of the hatchlings ate last night. I will try again with the rest in a couple of days.

Skinks get even more of a reaction, if you can get them.

That is great news!
My two stubborn ones still wont eat a whole pinky but I expect a baby fence lizard hatch in a couple of weeks, and by then if the snakes have not got hungry enough to eat a pinky I will have small enough lizards for them. I have gobs of fence lizards but they look like crocodiles next to the tiny snakes! LOL!

Man if shipping wasn't such a bear, I would buy a few of those Captive bred lizards from. I remember you posting pics of your lizards way back on RG. Good job keeping that colony going!

You may not need lizards after all. Today when my bull snakes hatched one of the eggs failed but I was able to harvest the dead neonate and handfeed pieces to my two stubborn baby pyros who really didn't want to eat pinkies. They swallowed the snake pieces readily. So now all my pyros have eaten, even the two stubborn ones. I am very happy about this as now I don't have to feed out my expected clutch of baby fence lizards. I have frozen the dead neonate for future feedings and scenting.

The humble fence lizard is my favorite lizard.

I had to do that with baby corns that died or were deformed. It doesn't always work either, each snake has preferences I guess, lol.
