[infernalis]

Setting up to receive 15 het babies. all refusing feed.

Any tips on how I can get these critters started?

Slightly raise both the temp and the humidity for a few hours.

I'll answer that after they arrive

They are siblings, so if I successfully start them off, I would be happy to trade a couple for compatible babies.

I personally will not breed siblings, that is a personal choice, I believe in using unrelated bloodlines for healthier snakes. But thats just my opinion.

try small worms...a lot of my non-feeders have gotten going on worms. I have had real good luck feeding pinkies to worm eaters. also, I have used guppies in clear deli cup wate dishes, sometimes they want moving food to attract them. I would be interested in a pair if they start eating. got a male anery already.

I hope they start eating for you (once you get them).

Thank you leannne

Thats the whole deal, I made a very acceptable trade with a breeder for non feeding babies, they are otherwise very healthy. I happen to have the time, patience and some food items available to me that some folks cannot get.

If I have to start them on amphibians first, I'll try that. Baby night crawlers, James' suggestion on warming them up a tad in a humid environment.

And if all else fails, force feed them a reptile milkshake of pureed fish and vitamins.

Hopefully a little luck and patience will pay off.

Good luck with them, Wayne and keep us posted on their progress.
