I posted a pict of one of a pair of Easterns I got about two weeks ago. So far one of them has been eating like a machine with a feeding response like a large adult. Unlike some skittish hatchlings I have had he has been taking them as soon as they are in the cage. He had 4 over two days last week (two from another that was not eating)and ate three more today. The other would not touch any form of a pinkie (alive, F/T, brained). I went out today and found a nice smelly Garter snake. I scented a couple F/T pinkies, and happily he went right after them. I am hoping he will switch to unscented soon. I also have 04 Sinaloans, that one is eating, one not. Hoepfully the other will take scented pinkies tonight too. How are others making out with their new hatchlings? Thanks! -Milt

As for the easterns, well out of only 6 babies, 3 took pinks on the first or 2nd try. I feel the others will follow along soon enough without any scenting. Most other hatchlings are doing just fine as well. ' Good luck with yours.
