Sammy hadn't been eating the last couple weeks although I'd been trying and threw away three pinkies in the process of her not eating (one each week, the last being Friday). I even bought a feeder gold fish that I put in her water dish and she didn't eat it.

I was beginning to wonder if she was gravid and today we came home to find she'd had seven babies. I separated them from her, but I don't think the large disposable Glad container with holes in the top is adequate for them. Besides not having very good ventilation even with the small holes I put in the lid.

Can the babies stay in Sammy's cage with her or will she eat them?

I fed Sammy this afternoon and she ate three pinkies. She usually only eats one so I figured she was pretty hungry.

I cut off some pinky legs and the tail and put the parts in with the baby snakes and they aren't eating them.

How soon do baby snakes eat and what should I feed them?

Thanks for all your help! btw I'm going to take some pictures now and post them.
