    update on my Xenochrophis

    Good news! They all had scented pinkie yesterday.
    At first the skinny one wouldn't eat and I took him out and kept waving little pinkies in front of his face, with no success. Then I was distracted for a moment and looked somewhere else and he grabbed the biggest pinkie off the saucer on my lap and scarfed it down. I guess we're at cruising altitude now - yippie!

    yeah, now I just have to be careful that they don't end up with double chins, like Sammy

    Whew! You did it. I guess half the fun is in experimenting until you find something that gives success. Congratulations .
