The pair I have started eating pinks as soon as I got them. They may have been eating a few weeks before I got them. From what I've heard captive born are pretty easy, mine have been. These guys have been no trouble for me, and are a year old now. They are about two feet already. You do need to be careful not to overfeed, as some have suggested they tend to get obese if you feed them too often. TC.

: hi all

: is this species really hard to get started as babies ? i've read in a couple of websites that "Hatchlings do well, and feed well on pink mice" is this the norm ? or the exception ? can you compare them to mountain kingsnakes in terms of difficulty. if so, what techniques would you use to get them started (scenting animals, etc.)? thanks in advance.
