Baby Dekayi snakes eating pinky parts!

[infernalis]

Tonight just for fun I tried to feed my baby dekayi snakes bits of pinky.

First I rubbed the legs and tails all over a big gooey slug, and every single baby Dekayi ate pinky bits for me

I took many pictures, but I am on someone elses computer right now.

As soon as I am on my own PC, I will upload the pictures for all to see.

Maybe this will be just what that tiny little runt needs to start growing strong!

Stephanie, I only have 3 slugs, and I need to take really good care of them so I can use them to keep scenting rodent parts.

Tonight I am going to try and get my adult Dekayi snakes to eat rat pup thighs scented with them.

Here is a trio of the pictures I took, too many of them came out blurry.

Had I not seen this with my own eyes (now you all have too) I never would have believed it.

Now here is Xena my breeder mom eating the whole thigh / leg of a rat pup cut off and scented with a slug.

Michelle, I feed mine night crawlers that I cut into chunks with scissors.

The baby snakes are trickier, I have to cut the night crawler 4 ways, first I cut off a chunk, then I split that down the middle lengthwise, and again, making a slender strip of crawler.

That's what gave me the idea, I was scenting the crawler with Slug, so I lobbed off a thigh/leg from a pinky, rubbed it on the slug, and YUM. They all took this and ate it.

wow thats so cool, might have to try this when the slugs have came back, although i do have some slug eggs in my worm bucket , they were layed by the slugs that were procreating in the container pryor to being someones lunch.
look kinda like clear fish eggs and very small pin size. still waiting if they will hatch. cool if they did ha haaahaa
bye

Yes those are slug eggs, I have gathered the eggs from under boards before and put them in a big cool whip bowl filled with dam grass clippings and some composting leaves, they incubate quickly, and I fed the tiny baby slugs to my neonate Dekayi's for the first few weeks when they were the smallest.

I had a big chest freezer in the basement, (non working) I put a layer of damp dirt on the bottom and caught tons of slugs, put them in there, and had slugs all winter long.

I want to monitor growth with the pinky diet and see if this makes a difference.

Fingers crossed you might have dekay monsters before long
