Here's a newborn splendida hatched in Aug. '08 first meal, he is now on small hoppers. I will try to get a pic tomorrow for size reference for you. They were able to progress in 3 meals of pinkies to fuzzies. This is a two or three day old pinky. I use 1 day old pinks only on my smallest snakes, specks and milks, runt thayeri, etc. had to go 1/2 pink for the runt thayeri, but in three meals it was on whole. The runt is now on large fuzzies, 2 or 3 per feeding. In 7 months they are on small hoppers, splendida are bigger than specks usually. This is just my way, I have live available 24/7 so there never is an issue about what size I can use. They will eat bigger than you think, go with moderation at first, increase as you see fit and learn through the process!
