>>Hi Terry:
>>I'm starting to think they don't eat at all their hatchling fall (at least in some areas of their range). But whatever the case may be they are definitely not a foolproof captive snake. But I've learned some good techniques for them so I guess I should be thankful for the training.

I remember when I used to keep moellendorffi that the babies sometimes were difficult to get going. They did great after the brumation. I wonder if the species doesn't time it in the wild to hatch in the fall, or even, late fall?

Cheers...TC
