The baby eyelash's are in small tubs....these are particularly small snakes.
I'll post other image as I take them...
I'd rather not assist fed but it is quite straight forward...honest!!! _________________ Live for today as your dead for a long long time

Very nice Graeme.
With feeding, tap their tails with the prey item, generates a great feeding response _________________

Yes lynne thats pen, I dont think people realize how small they are!!!
Despite the size of the snake their fangs look long and are big enough to hurt.
I would imagine the amount of venom is tiny but probably enough to do some damage.
This ones in slough and I hope it feeds ok once sloughed off.
They are very delicate and its hard work getting hold of them.
On the positive side once the mouth is open they bite and automatically swalllow.......
If I have to do it again (I hope not) i'll get my wife to photograph me doing it.
Last time she refused to watch in case the snake or I got hurt...
NOT RECOMMENDED BY THE WAY ....DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME FOLKS _________________ Live for today as your dead for a long long time

thats amazing. would be great to see, i hope your wife agrees to take pictures. i can imagine how delicate they are, it must be difficult to get hold of them and not squeeze. they are absolutely beautiful. _________________
