Reptile & Amphibian Forums

This is a bit of a dream come true for me, with perchance a few feeding nightmares ahead. I bought a clutch of newly born unsexed unfed rubbers. This is a species that has interested me since high school when I was shown an adult pair. More than 10 years later, these are the 3rd 4th 5th and 6th I’ve ever seen. Whether or not I’m effective with them will remain to be seen; I’ll certainly be informed, so thought I’d introduce myself

Doesn't look like a lot of action on the forum, but here's a quick follow-up:

I got 3/4 feeding on frozen thawed small whole pinks on the first attempt. I crumpled a small paper dixie cup, put a pinkie mouse inside, put the cup into an empty clear plastic deli cup, put a boa in the deli cup, then put all 4 cups with all 4 boas into a dark closet overnight. I checked them late the next morning 3/4 had eaten.

Adam,
That's super success to say the least.

These are captive bred offspring and my 3rd floor apartment runs kind of on the warm side of room temperature, but the mashed dixie cup inside of a deli cup method has served me well.
