That was an interesting read Doug. Thanks for the thorough explanation. Maybe that yellow rat with the orange eyes was an escaped intergrade It's absolutely beautiful. Do you still have it?

As for the hatchling in my original post, i can't wait to witness his color/pattern transformation. He's tiny right now. He only weighs 13g. I have seen a pic of his mom and I doubt he'll be nearly as bright as the glades in your post, but he'll still look nice.

I already know the answer to this question, but i might as well try... a 5g fuzzy is too big for him right? The reason i ask is because i'm all out of pinkies and he's the only snake in my collection that would need them. I have plenty of fuzzies. Just thought i'd check because some snakes can take down much larger prey than one would think.
