I hadn't even intended to try to feed them, but had thawed fuzzies for other snakes and thought I'd give it a shot on Friday night. Thirteen of the baby black bloods ate -- frozen thawed -- first attempt!
I stopped then because it was late and I'd used all the fuzzies I had thawed. Saturday I tried thawed rat pups on the others and five more ate. That's eighteen out of twenty five eating frozen thawed on first attempt.
I defininitely thank people like the Barkers who had the expertise and took the time to work with wild caughts and make success stories like this possible.
PS -- The photos aren't the best, and I can't figure out how to make them come up in the correct order. The top photo is after it swallowed the rat pup, the lower is just after it grabbed it.

Hey V,
Awesome little pictures of the babies. I know that feeling of being over joyed after getting all of the babies to eat, it's a huge relief. Good luck with the rest, I'm sure you'll do great.

P.S. Post your pictures in the order that you want them to appear. First make your brackets using the html code and then place your path between the brackets. And then just do the same for the proceeding image. It should work!
