Here's a couple of feeding pics of the little ones:



No, I don't keep them on plastic; I just put them in a tub while they were eating, since they're on Aspen shavings and I wanted to avoid having it stick to the fish and cause impactions. I feed all my baby Water Snakes this way, too, usually holding them while they're eating.

Here's a couple of the mother, the first one is before she gave birth, the next one was taken this evening.
