Crotalus t. armstrongi babies

For the second time, momma dropped a few browish worms the other day. Thought it was just the one but found two more in with her the next day.

Nice Dan I guess your pinkies will have to start hamming it up lol.Those guys are born small.I had a chance to pick up new born not feeding yet offspring last year for 250 but passed as they could coil on a nickel.Now I wish I had gone for it.

Do these feed readily on cricket frogs/skinks as babies like our pigmys do?

Unlike North American pygmys, these usually take fine to rodents as their first meals and stick with rodents. These were large babies so are quite capable of managing day-old pinks. However small newborns like mentioned in the other post can be assist fed rodent legs a few times until grown a bit or provided pink heads or small defrosted lizards.
