Good news to hear. Happy snakes are a very good thing.

Glad all is well with Zena and the new baby snake.

That's great news! I chop my pinks while they're still frozen. Not as messy. I also have a dedicated pair of scissors for cutting up worms. Looking forward to pics!

Mike, I sliced the pinky while frozen, but still gross. And I also have a special pair of scissors I use for bugs and such for my frogs and toads. I just didn’t think the baby would be that small. I think she’s from a mid April batch.

Can I offer fish yet, or should I stick with the pinky worm stew for now.

Red-sideds are simply gorgeous! I give my babies pinkies, worms, and fish...fresh fillet cut up into tiny pieces. They absolutely love trout. You will get used to cutting up pinkies...I don't even think about it when I do it anymore...I do it so often. Worms actually bother me more to cut up...I have to use a knife to get them into the little tiny pieces for the babies and I feel bad for the worms since they are alive. But my babies have to eat...and that is that...so I deal with it. Congrats on your new addition! And ummm...where are the pics btw?

Oh...how about Ruby for a name? Ruby for a pretty red girl. And I am totally getting one of those hammocks...maybe one for each enclosure!

Make sure you cut the fish into tiny pieces. The size of the chopped pink parts and it'll be fine. Ruby is a pretty name. I like Peanut, lol!

Glad to hear all is well.

I like Ruby too

Second the name: Cleo
Why? When I first brought her home and put her in the tank she coiled up her body, raised her head like a cobra and it reminds me of Cleopatra. Don't know why, it just did. I was tossing around the names Zelda, Chloe and Cleo and decided on my first pick.

Nice looking baby you've got there, her colours are really beautiful.
