Checkered babies!

congrats, no albino's? The albino's look nice but i still like the regular checkereds more then the albino checkereds.

Nope, no albinos. Prefer the normals myself as well.

@spankenstyne: I love checkerds too, had one as my very first snake and loved him to bits.

My male checkered was my first snake too!

another quick update:

1 of the babies ate a scented piece of pinky today, so hopefully he'll take non scented very soon. Still got one whos refusing to eat at all and the other that just had some fish the last feed but nothing this time.

Also i'm amazed at how fast they are growing, they seem to have doubled in length already. They are also really calm, can pick them up and hold them without them going mad trying to get away.

All in all, im very happy with their progress

That sounds great. Congrats.

Very nice. Always good to hear that there are healthy live babies, even if it is only very few.

The "hypos" or "pastels" is what finally got me hooked but I went ahead and got an albino too. Got my first checkereds from Shannon. They are so tame, they'll come right into my hand voluntarily. I love 'em.

another update, with various pics of them too

the one that took scented pinky parts greedily took 3 more scented bits off the tweezers the other day, it also likes to do a mini yawn (stretching the mouth maybe) before it eats so i know for sure its definitely going to eat when i see it do that, its kinda cute.

the other 2 are still being rather picky about their food, so i think its back to fish only with those to try and tempt them into going with the feeding, they are still a nice weight and growing nicely so not overly worried, yet.

aaaand here are the pics

Those little Checkereds can be picky eaters.
