    Hey! First Successful Feeding!

    Since I caught her yesterday, I wasn't sure how long it would take for the adjustment of being in unfamiliar surroundings. I picked up some Canadian Nightcrawlers, and it took less than a minute for her to devour one!

    Should I offer her another, or wait a couple of days?

    Congrats on the quick success!
    How big is she? If she's a good size you could offer her another one or two, and then start a regular feeding schedule.

    I'd guess 18", and from what folks are saying on the forum, she's gravid.

    Well then, she's probably more than able to handle a couple more worms!
    If she's that comfortable eating for you already, it most likely won't be long before she'll switch to pinkies or fish for you too!

    Yeah, I just got through reading your other thread.........she does look gravid, and definitely big enough to eat more!
