It really is a great pity that we don't live close Randi as i have been presented with another dozen newborn checkereds this birth was unexpected, as although i did attempt to have her breed, i thought it was unsuccessful, because when i bought the female [albino] she was a very round [fat] [obese] snake, then a couple of months ago she decided she no longer enjoyed eating so during her pregnancy she has actually lost body mass, which wrong footed me, and when it comes to getting them other homes, finding them a loving owner beats selling them every time:)

Congrats on your great new marcianus.

[indigoman]

I'm glad to see the little scrub got a good home. He or she will give you great enjoyment I'm very fond of T. marcianus.

tried out tilapia today, seems to love it :)

[guidofatherof5]

Not too much. Don't let them stuff themselves on fish. I've lost young snakes that eat too much fish.
Good looking little Checkered.

[joeyjoe9876]

Only ate that one piece, wasn't interested in eating after that haha

[guidofatherof5]

I've found mixing night crawler chunks with fish works well.
They eat the worm thinking it's fish.
Variety is important.;)

Congrats!

[RedSidedSPR]

Whoa. Tiny.

Cool snake!!
