T. ordinoides on the Ranch

Hmmm... weird. Never had much trouble with CB babies but plenty with a lot of WC adults.

So sorry for your losses. It especially sucks to lose new life.

My one surviving baby Northwestern continues to go.
This morning I collected a dozen slugs and 1 earthworm for the crew.
I opened the Northwestern enclosure and the feast was over in a matter of moment.
The baby got the earthworn and the adults downed a dozen large slugs in about 2 minutes.
I wish I had a few more dozen slugs as the adults were still hungry. Little pigs.

DId you not feed the baby a slug for that reason? I'm thinking my checkered near-choking to death was because of his age, the others were fine....

I didn't want to cut the slugs up so I just gave the slugs to the adults. They were big slugs.
The baby readily eat slug pieces and when I'm fortunate enough to find a small slug she eats them right down.
Never seen any slime problems with the slugs I feed.
Granted the snakes get a mouth full of slime but it doesn't seem to bother them.

NW are piggies. All of ours are.

[ConcinusMan]

Yes they are. Now you know why I named this girl "miss piggy"

You should see Mama... 3 pinkies don't even make a slight bulge in her stomach anymore, and she's actually a little bit on the slim side since money is exceptionally tight these past (and future) few months...

I found 2 very small slugs today for Connor Snake. I'm not sure she saw them but hopefully.

Richard...Miss Piggy is gorgeous. Cee Cee and Selena are going through a phase where all they will eat is cut up fish...either Steel-head trout or Alaskan salmon. They both used to like worms...but neither of them want anything to do with them lately. Cee Cee will occasionally eat a cut up pinky. I worry sometimes about the variety of their diet. Also, Cee Cee used to let me feed her with tongs, but now she hides if I offer her food...I can only put food in for both of them on dishes...they definitely change their preferences from time to time.
