First time babies

Could be, but i agree they look like easterns! Maybe peck will chime in on his opinion! I think he has worked with some butlers.

are you located in the southern part of ontario? My first thought was butlers garter when i saw them, but i do not have any personal experience with them and didn't know if they ranged that far north, but i googled and butlers do extend into southern ontario.
Anyone on the forum ever kept butlers garter?

Update: Its been two weeks now. All but 3 having been eating a mixture of pinky and worm pieces. Only one of the three picky eaters is noticeably smaller, the other two look healthy (so maybe they ate once before). Unfortunately one of these 3 is an albino. I put these 3 in a separate tank to ensure they would have a fair chance at the food. Tonight I placed some live fish in a shallow dish, but no luck yet.

Also, I have not seen any of them shed. Makes me think they shed right after birth, but I never saw the sheds.

yes their first shed is immidiately afer being born and should shed in 2-3 weeks after being born. did you try offering salmon or tilapia?

They shed right after birth and that shed material is more like ash compared to the rest of the sheds they will have in life.

Thanks for the update! Keep working, babies are a handful, but I love it! Keep asking questions when you have them anyone on here is happy to help. We would do the same for any litter of scrubs, but new WC albino genes tend to make everyone extra attentive.
