YAY! We got our snake at the expo a few days ago, haven't got a name for her yet (it's a she) and recomendations are welcome. At the mo she's 9in long and 4 weeks old, does that sound right?.

The breeder said she's feeding well going to try feeding on wednesday. Just for reference is 0.70£ a good price for pinky's

Thanks

Congrats on the new addition look forward to pictures

Pinkies are usually cheaper than 70p depends where they are from but you can get them from a s little as 20p from some online places. And suppliers. I think pets at home are only 40-50p

70p is too dear for pinkies, I don't know if you have a Pets at Home near you, but I get mine from there for about 40p each I think. They also come individually wrapped which is handy for defrosting.

What sort of names do you usually like?? Do you have any other snakes/reptiles, and what are they called? Some people do have a bit of a theme going on, so it always helps to know what you already have...

Oh, right - I forgot you were in Switzerland. So you managed to find s place to buy pinkies, then? If that's your only option, I guess 70p isn't too bad

If your hoggy is only 4 weeks old, 9g is probably not too small, but if you could post some pics we will be able to advise you better.
