Here is a baby Dekayi that worries me, this little sprout is only 1/3 the size of it's siblings.

The snake eats, but only a sliver of food a day, I had to move him to a small critter keeper by himself, so the bigger siblings would leave him alone.




These 4 mice are real cuties, definitely going to the pet store...

those are cuties wayne i think it is the flatter snout

Glad I can trade them for some guppies or crickets, I'd hate to feed those ones off.

Everyone is eating frozen/thawed now, so it makes more sense to barter the mice out anyways, Especially since I am hooked on my colonies.

A nice lady today gave me 2 deluxe cages, 2 exercise wheels, six water bottles, 6 food bowls and a bunch of rodent toys

She said I could have them for free as long as I could use them...

I call that a bargain!

Going to get a breeding pair of Gerbils now, to start non feeding Ball Pythons with.

awwwe that poor little dekay's

I lost my one baby garter that was lagging behind in growth like that. Eventually he was 1/3 of the size of the others and was still eating, but only small amounts and was just not growing! I hope he pulls through for you!!

As for the mice... yea they are VERY cute but I still would have no problem handing one to a snake. No insults intented at all, I am just extremely indifferent to small furry things

I won't lie, I did have a rat as a pet once, she was cool! Her name was Tina.... she was supposed to be food but the snake would not eat her, she was a weanling, was going to put her down and freeze her.... but she started suckling my hand... and then she ate a cheerio... and then she cleaned her face on my palm....ughhh mommy intstinct kicked in

Trust me Shannon, I have whacked my fair share of rodents on a solid surface, But the truth is simple math...

The pet store pays me enough to buy 3 frozen rodents to each live one I bring in.

So the end result is more snake food for the dollar

considered african soft-furred rats? BP's LOOOVVEEE them, and they are the widely accepted food to use when a BP is a nonfeeder. They are more like mice than rats though....

gerbils are cool too though the thing that stinks about breeding them is that they are monogamous... they choose one mate for life and if that mate dies or you take it away there is a really good chance they will not accept another. Oh yea, and don't pick them up by their tails... or they will drop them!
