    Re: best food for babies?

    Babies need to have plenty of moist places too. That's another common cause of failure to thrive, being kept too dry. Also, much of the time, babies won't drink standing water at first. They need to be misted a couple of times a day, and they'll drink the "dew" But yeah, allowing them to overstuff themselves before their organs and digestive track get strong, can be fatal.

    Well I cut up some worm and a pinkie and put it into a dish. One of the normal checkerds ate some from what I noticed. So 3 out of the 4 seem to be eating. The one that was acting weird has yet to eat.

    3 out of 4 is a good start. Might want to keep a close eye out at feeding time. When one gets a good mouthful remove the snake. Do this one by one, to confirm which one's are eating. This is especially important when there are a lot of babies but equally important in this situation. You must be sure which ones are eating and be sure at each feeding, which one's ate. It's much easier to know if you remove the fed snakes as they eat, and move them to another container, giving the others a chance to get their turn.

    It's a little difficult because they don't seem interested when I feed them. It's shortly after lights go off that they seem to be eating...
