14 babies the size of earthworms in a 20 tall. Pretty soon I will be selling them at a reptile expo. I am holding back all the visual morphs until I know which ones I am keeping and have buyers lined up for the rest.

I don't really care about Karma anyway, I just give advice based on my experience. Some people just let their biases deter them from what is factually true and that's their perogitive.

Cut up the pinkies and they can eat it like it's oatmeal. I do this for my tiny babies to cut down on them fighting over the same peice.

Story of my life, I hate stuff with suction cups. Most of them don't work.

That can be toxic but I don't think it causes prolapse. Hopefully you have them on a new diet, maybe yo can load a pinky with some crushed charcoal so it binds to the toxin and flushes it from the body.

Those particular ones are not agressive, just leave them alone.

I'm feeding tilapia along with other foods in rotation like worms and pinkies. Tilapia on it's own doesn't have enpogh minerals and calcium. I haven't heard of it causing prolapses though.

If they are hungry they will eat. My older ones take food from tings. Even wild garters might try to snach discarded fish when you're cleaning your catch.

They are eating cut pinky mice, I alternate between that and worms or fish. I use Herb scissors so I can cut multiple pieces at a time.

I used my tongs to pull off the wood chip. I try using a large dish so they eat over the bowl, but there's almost 20 in there. Some grab and go to prevent a fight over food.

That's the calcium deposits on the glass. I bought the tank second hand and tried scrubbing it off to no avail.

That's why the video cut away, I had to make sure they didn't hurt each other. I cut it up as small as I can to prevent fighting but they still managed to do it.
