Re: Thamnophis on speed
I recommend reading my new thread "Sad World"/Breeding.
My girl has died tragically. I cut her up after her death and she had 6 babies inside her. Three is still alive, and one has eaten:-) So good news in bad news.

Re: Thamnophis on speed
Thank you ConcinnusMan.
I continue offering the babies a mixture of dead fish and mice daily. There is too much trouble getting alive guppys every day when they won't eat them. Any good advice on getting them to eat?

Re: Thamnophis on speed
Hard to give advice when I know nothing about how they are kept or how they are behaving. Besides that, I have never kept either species, let alone a hybrid of the two.
There's still time. Give 'em a chance.

Re: Thamnophis on speed
By english is not very good, so I didn't understand the hybrid thing
I keep them separate in small containers with paper substrate, a small hide and a water dish. The plastic containers are placed in a big glass enclosure with light over it and a "room" temperature of 26-27 degrees. No local spot.
I await the two last beginning to eat, they are acting EXACTLY as an adult healthy snake and they're well developed so I think they will make it. They are curious and active and do a lot tongue flicking. No convulsions. I believe that they would have died long time ago if they were too weak to survive.

tetrataenia x parietalis = Two different subspecies together = Hybrid. Also called a crossbreed.

Believe me, babies that are doing well can suddenly die within the first 6 months for no apparent reason. However, the fact that they survived up until now is a very good sign. They have a very good chance of surviving.
I wouldn't use the plastic enclosures. I would give them room to move around. I would also give them many choices of hiding places. Some dry, some moist. Some warm, some cool. A small area with a hot spot around 30 degrees Celsius all the time is a good idea but they should get darkness for about 8 hours a day. The cold areas should not be less than 23 degrees. Make sure that much of the bottom is dry but the air should be 60-70% humidity.
Try putting all 3 snakes together at feeding time in a small container. Sometimes the snakes that are not eating will get curious when they see another snake eating. Sometimes that makes them start eating too.
