    Re: feeding new babies

    Chop up pinkies and fish together into a mush, it's magic most of the time.

    Just out of curiosity, is that a radix? Because my Amy will eat pinkies, fish, or worms without hesitation. Doesn't matter if I mix them or not.

    I'm also guessing that the snake you pictured is all but blind. My amy doesn't see anything moving. She acts blind as a bat. The only time she seems to "see" is when I cast a shadow on her, or if I am holding her and I bring her under a bright light. In both cases she launches herself into the air. She actually jumps.

    But one thing is for sure, my past concinnus babies that see quite well, aren't interested in the smell. They are attracted to movement. For those, I used to get them started on chorus frog (pacific treefrog) larvae in their water dish. After that, a wiggling worm would do. After a few months, just the smell of fish, worms, frogs, or larvae would work.
