Elaphe frenata hatchlings

Posted by VMS Professional Herpetoculture on August 21, 2001 at 09:05:02:

I've had a number of inquiries regarding how the three Elaphe frenata we hatched earlier this year were doing. Thought I'd post an updated pic and a few details for everyone interested.

Thus far, one hatchling eats pinks without hesitation, one stares at them for at least a day before eating and one eats 'brained' ones fairly consistently. Compared to something like pyros or gray-bands, they are not hard at all. All are being kept in very simplistic shoebox type caging.

I hope this helps overcome anyone's fear of working with this specie - they are not that hard!
