Checkered babies!

[ScimitarX]

Here is a long needed update.

greedy guts continues to stuff her face with pinky parts, she ( i think its a girl looking at the tail) will eat as until shes full taking food straight off the tweezers. she is sold now, her owner is coming for her next week

Got the other one established on fish now, still wont touch the pinkies but is doing great on the fish.


and that just leaves the last one, the little hold out, who refused to eat anything at all until today. He ate a tiny bit of fish all by himself So finally he can start catching up with the other 2.

Here's a picture of the little one, taking shelter in his bottlecap water bowl after eating^^

Love the bottle cap photo. Funny little scrubs.

Congratulations! Those guys look so cute!

[ConcinusMan]

Yeah, I don't think he's ever going to eat. I'll probably find him belly up soon.

[RedSidedSPR]

That sucks. What have you not tried?

[ConcinusMan]

Hot dogs and bubble gum.

[RedSidedSPR]

Worth a shot.

[ConcinusMan]

Well, this is probably why the babies from this litter are being given away for free. A baby garter snake that continuously refuses food is as good as dead. It's nearly to the point of skin folds now. I don't hold out much hope for this guy.

[RedSidedSPR]

Some people force feed as a last resort, i'm not a fan of doing that though.

[ConcinusMan]

That's ridiculous. I'm not even going to attempt to force feed a tiny baby checkered. (about 4.5 inches) It's impossible and wouldn't do any good anyway.
