My clutch of eggs for this year hatched out. :) just a snap shot of the little ones before I placed them into their own bins. Nicer pics to come once they have their first shed. :)
We got 4 pewters, 1 normal and 1 cinnamon
Parents were a cinnamon female and a pewter male.

Or atleast you aren't made for feeding live. :) I raise mine to eat frozen/thawed/prekilled. I don't care for live feeding myself for several reasons, but most of the time the snake can be taught to eat already dead ones.
Sneaks are great once you get used to the feeding part ^^

Initial setup costs can be a bit pricey if you buy new, but in general, they are good beginner pets. :) the basics are a controlled heat source (belly heat or a Ceramic heat emitter are best. Lamps dry out the humidity) on one side, a couple hides around he enclosure, decor, tubes, plants or whatever for more clutter and cover, which they like, a minimum 20 gallon long (not tall) terratium with a secure lid/door (because they are good at escaping), a water bowl (preferably a non tippable one) and a spray bottle for humidity.
I usually only have to buy my sneks once a week to feed them and/or clean their cages and change water. Spray when humidity is low (guage humidity and temps with a hydrometer and a thermometer) and keep cages cleaned is all you need. Handling time is optional as they aren't social creatures, but if you do, generally try to handle at least once a week or two to help keep them tame. :) might sound like a lot at first but it's really very simple and easy once you are set up properly.
