Just wondering how long you guy's wait after sand boa babies shed there first skin to start feeding them?
I read different stuff all over the web and was wondering what you all do?

THANKS

Once they have all shed I usually give them ~5 days. I offer the first few meals in their enclosure and then start to move them into deli cups for feeding.

I raise my own mice/rats so its a little easier for me to piece them out. I usually start offering food as soon as they shed out. Most will wait around 3 days afterword though to begin eating. Agree with the below post, don't move them to deli cups until they get a little adjusted. First meal or so is the most critical.

Do you feed live or frozen/thawed the initial few times?
