I picked up a splendida hatchling at a show Sunday.He seems kind of small to be fed a pinkie.Its definitely larger than its widest girth.Should I cut the pinkie down or what?I've had Boas before but nothing this small.

It should be able to take a small newborn pinkie with no problems. I have a hatchling splendida and I feed it pinkies that are hours old. But then again I breed my own mice and have easy access to them. If you have a local pet store that you get your feeders from, give them a call and tell them to call you as soon as any of their mice have newborns.

here's my splendida, her feeding response is stronger than her shyness typical of most splendida
