Welcome to the forum.
Keep in mind, that food source can carry parasites. Would be good to switch her over to worms/pinkies/frozen-thawed fish.
Great looking snake.
Here's a link to the forum care sheet:

Looking forward to more pictures.

Nice pattern on that one.
Thats a LOT of tadpoles!
I haven't seen tadpoles that thick since I was a kid.

That is a lot! About 5 or 6 years ago before the pond behind my house got destroyed there were about half that amount. I caught a few to raise and watch them grow into bullfrogs but my cat ate them somehow. :confused: I have no idea what kind of cat would eat a bullfrog tadpole... But then again she eats plastic if we don't keep an eye on her :rolleyes:

i bought them at a reptile pet shop in beijing they probably smuggle them from taiwan or somewhere.
