Eastern Blacknecks favorite food??

Six of the nine are polishing off 3 guppies every 3 days by putting them in the same container with a lid. 2 of the others are not as consistent and one has yet to eat anything but he still looks nice and fat.

Thanks for the tips everyone I think I am through the worst of it.

Here is a picture of one of the babies.

Congrats!

They are such gorgeous snakes. I am glad they are eating for you. Did you put them all in the same tub to eat?

Thanks and no, I separated them.

I thought that's what you meant when you said you were putting them in the same container but I guess you meant they were in the same container as the fish!

I have heard that babies will be stimulated to eat when they see others eating but I have found mine do better when alone.

Ah yes, I see the origin of the question now. Yeah, its always separate for me. I just don't have the time to monitor all the babies in the same container to eat. I'd have to sit there and watch so that they wouldn't eat each other. Interesting idea though learning to eat by watching others.
