Here are some of my Pygmy Rattlers.
Here is one of the 6 new little babies.
And a comparison shot of the little fang face.
I am not looking forward to force feeding mouse legs down their gullets
[img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] At this size, their fangs are about the size of their heads! [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img] They tend to grow into their fangs.

If I can get them started, they should be fine. They are only a week old, so it is hard to tell. I have pretty good luck with them though. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] Getting them started is the hard part. Force feedign mouse legs works better in the long run rather than cricket frogs, which they take right away. If I give a few meals of mouse legs, they tend to take pinkies more readily. Then, it ia all uphill [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

uggg....force feeding little pygs...that's gotta be one of the least desirable aspects of keeping venomous snakes...
very colorful little fellows, though.
keep us posted on their progress...
good luck,
Steve

When you force feed something that small, how do you protect yourself? Do you wear gloves? I would think that would just make it even harder to deal with something that small. I know how big on safety you are and I think that Pygmys are great little snakes (although I am no where near ready to own one) so I would like to hear how ya do that.
Thanks,
Ted
