that is some colour, Don
while I'm personally not fond of pink as a colour, I must say, she's a particularly fetching shade of pink and she certainly wears it much better than I could
I'm curious to see whether she keeps it

Congrats Don,

success is much sweeter when you have a hard turn to it.
Hope that we can see her babies in a few years.

BTW: Is it a mice oder a rats leg in her mouth?

I hope she stays pink too!! That is a rat pup leg she is eating. I have had no luck getting mice to breed, but the rats have been doing good. I cut the legs of the frozen rat pups and feed them to the smaller snakes until they are big enough for whole rat pups.

I usually start with smelt tails for my hatchlings, and turm them to mice pinkies later. Do you feed rodents only from the beginning?

I feed guppies, frozen fish, worms, and rodent parts. worms are great for scenting rodents for some snakes...I have had a few that are picky about it when fish scented but pounce on worms, so I rub the parts on worms to scent them and the pounce on them then.

Yes, and the two he sold are doing well also. Trinity was red from the beginning, but now Gaia is turning pink too!
