Posted: Sat Dec 22, 2007 6:39 pm Post subject: Baby Mangrove Snakes |
|
|
After a brief period of settling in the two baby mangroves which i purchased a month ago decided to accept food.
Although they are not totally feeding on their own all it takes is a few taps on the nose to P**s them off and they angrily take it out on pinkies!!!
They are now taking two pinkies every 5 days and are little gems.
Here some shots from this morning..

They are real dopy during the day and dont even strike!
At night they are quite lively though i'm amazed how calm they are compared to the wild caught adults I kept 20 years ago!!!
Had a baby hanging off my finger last night.......aw how cute ![Twisted Evil](images/smiles/icon_twisted.gif) _________________ Live for today as your dead for a long long time

Lovely photos Graeme.
Are these the snakes I held when we were down a couple of weeks ago?
If so I can vouch for their calmness during the day. _________________ “If in doubt, just say nowt” |
