While feeding my T.s.parietalis babies I found this little one. I've never had a snake with this condition. She hasn't started eating worms yet and is stuck on guppies. She will stay on the Ranch for the rest of her life. She's a great kid.

Re: Cleft Palate
Call her Notch
... fingers crossed for her. I would guess the environment of the ranch will suit her right down to the ground

Aaww. what a cute baby! I'm so glad she has a home at your ranch! Now I know she'll be taken care of.

Re: Cleft Palate
Grabbing food looks to be a little more difficult but not much. Notch, as she is called(thanks Greg) ate 5 guppies last night and 3 big one for breakfast. I'm hand feeding her. She seems to do better when I can position the fish just right for her. She's got me by the heart, I can't wait to watch her grow into an adult. Originally Posted by drache

Re: Cleft Palate
I could never be sure so she will be a non-breeder. Great little red-sided(T.s.p). Looking forward to the day she's an adult. Originally Posted by mustang

Re: Cleft Palate
Little Notch is doing pretty good. I fooled her one day and slipped a worm in on her when she was going for a guppy. She eat it just fine but then when off food for 2 days. Now, she's back to a guppy only diet. While her siblings and roomate(het albino radixes) were eating tonight she went over and smelled the worms and then left the area. She's a funny little scrub and I love her. I guess if she won't change I'll have to. Whatever the girl wants, she'll get.
