Before I say a word... How old do you mean by baby? 2003 hatchling? What is the size? Most importantly, forget the colubrid rule of "it's okay to feed when they've passed their last meal>" Womas can go for weeks without a poo and then leave a big 'un for you to clean up! I'd say a small morsel every five to seven days is safe. You'll know if they are super hungry or not by the difference in their feeding response.

He is only 4 weeks old. I really want him to grow fast but not risk his health in doing so. Thanks for the info so far !!!!
