>>Awesome, awesome, awesome! I have been fortunate to collect 2.2 Senticolis over the last 2 years..2.1 were neonates from the prior year found in early Spring and one sub-adult female found later on. W/the exception of the latter regurging one time (a small dab of Flagyl seems to have cleared that up) all of the juvies have done fabulously! Keep the prey items small and they do great.

>>All three juvies did start to refuse thawed after 6 mos. or so of readily taking them. A few feedings of live fuzzies later and they're right back on thawed.

Thanks Bill!

It's very cool that you were able to collect such young specimens. My adult pair were collected by my friend, Diego Ortiz, who acclimated them very well before handing them over to me - kudos to him on that. They are a locality pair from Mt. Hopkins in the Santa Ritas - the female was still a juvenile and the male was adult when I received them. Initially, the male accepted f/t, but began refusing and I started giving him live mice, which is all the female has ever taken. I breed my own mice, so this is not a big problem for me - although it would be nice to have the babies taking f/t. My adults take quite large mice for their sizes, with no ill effects. The female will take large adult mice with no problem, and they are both very efficient mouse killers.
