We have just had a few coachwhips in here and I am looking for tips on how to get them started feeding.



Supposedly the reds have eaten some tiny lizards but ideally i need to get them onto pinkies asap, I can probably use live pinks but lizards are trickier to get hold of at the right size.



The easterns I dont think have fed yet, one is tiny.



I know that once they have started to feed I wont have problems, one of the reds takes defrost very well just all the others that need to get started.









The first pic is the reds BTW Paul (coluber) though hopefully you will get your two soon enough. I'd just like them to start feeding first if possible.



Mike
