For those of you that have experience breeding pyros, what do usually feed the hatchlings?

LOL I haven't done to many but never had much problem getting them to take pink mice. Of the mountain kings I've worked with (mexicana and pyro) clearing an area of bedding, placing the pink in it and placing a deli cup water bowl over top (forming a little cavity) and letting the snake find the pink usually worked over night.

Hi,
If the babys wont take f/t as their first meal for me-(I'll give them about 3 weeks to feed) and if no feeding yet, then I'll usually use a baby fence lizard-(they will hardly ever turn that down) and after that, I'll give them a f/t pink with a piece of lizard tail sticking out of the mouth of the pink, it usually works every time. Good luck,

I have some knobs hatching. I will post some pictures soon. 5/5 eggs have pipped and 2/5 have crawled out of the egg. So far, so good. 9 grams each... fat little buggers.
