I know, You stated pinkies have no nutritional value, when the fact is, they do. They are lacking roughage and mass.

In most cases, with healthy hatchlings, one or two pink feedings then move on to larger items, is good. We agree with that. As you mentioned, snakes are capable of consuming giant prey items, so what you are talking about is not actually large prey items, just something in the middle or normal.

Your right about the one pinkie twice a week, that has nothing to do with anything, at least not anything about the snake. Maybe a pinkie a day for a week, then lets get with it.

So yea, we agree other then the nutritional value of pinks, remember, they are full of mothers milk, which is a superfood.
