Meet the gang!

It might just be because they look different than what yours look like. They are probably a lot thinner than yours were and probably smelt different. I clean them after every feeding with soap and water and a little bit of alcohol and rinse them before and after feeding. They definitely didn't like them the first 2 weeks I had them. After a while I gave up on feeding them with the tweezers because they just took it from my fingers so much better.

Hemostats are hemostats. They all look the same. I used a pair of craft pliers that have the same exact tip as hemostats and then switched to actual hemostats. They didn't react any different, but I don't want to argue.

[kibakiba]

I'm not trying to argue, I'm just saying what I thought might have been the reason that they didn't like my tweezers when feeding them. Either way, less bites is a good plus for me, I just hope that they won't be scared of it.

[ConcinusMan]

If they really are freaked out by them it will probably just take a few successful tries for them to get the clue that the hemostats are just part of feeding time. I have to fight them off of them. When I'm trying to feed one, the others are climbing up the hemostats. Annoys the heck out of me.

[kibakiba]

Indeed. I don't plan on giving up this time with them since I think it would be less of a hassle doing art and typing without bite marks in the finger that I use the most. Snap will probably take anything from anything, she goes wild if she even smells me bring the fish into my room. It's almost as if she's doing tricks for food.

I was feeding Flicker a slug today and those concinnus babies are so darn fiesty, they just see another snake eating and they charge and try to steal it. They don't even like slugs but hey, the other snake had it, so they try to steal it.

Hey! those lil' babies! stealin' my friend flickers food!

Sounds like snap. She see's tiny eating pinky parts and then steals a piece and spits it out. She see's runt eating some worms and wants some, I give her some and she spits that out too.

[ConcinusMan]

Nope. He's too smart for them. He knows what they're up to and he always gets away. He's eating pinkies now by the way. That should fatten him up. I think i'll only brumate him for 6-8 weeks with my red stripe girl, then I'll bring them both out. He was pretty thin is why I didn't brumate him right away. I've been feeding him 3-4 big slugs every single day, and more recently, he's been taking pinkies. He's gaining weight now.

Here's the difference between Tiny and Squirt. I don't know if you can tell in this picture, but Squirts stripe is only 1 scale wide while Tiny's is 2 scales wide. When you see them in person it's easy to tell which is which because Tiny does have a noticeably larger stripe.
