    The minnows are still your best bet. Mike came by this weekend & picked up the ones for him & Loren. To help him choose which ones to take back, I offered them minnows with the 12" tweezers. All have eaten that way, some more than others. Anyhow, The rest of them will be gone this week. That will make my wife happy, since the aquarium is still sitting on the kitchen table...LOL!

    I'lll try to get some larger guppies tonight when a store in Mountain View gets it's shipment in. If I'm in luck they may get minows as well.
    Get my e-mail about the zonata's? I'm waiting on two at this point. One egg is highly swollen - to about twice the size the other three swelled to for some reason (is there such a thing as a double yolked snake egg that hatches twins?) and the last egg is slightly moldy (has been for weeks) and has some thin spots - so thin you can see the snake's markings throug the shell. The two that hatched look good and healthy.

    Yes, I got the e-mail. Sorry I didn't reply right away. Super busy with everything & to top it off my Son decided to get married. He calls me about 6 times a day asking questions about the wedding. HOW WOULD I KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WEDDINGS! LOL!

    Congrats on the zonatas! Yes, it could be twins. However, it is probly just one that absorbed alot of water. Those ones are ussually the last ones to hatch. I will try & call you tomarrow
