And here are the other holdbacks. These guys have all been selected by me for health, appetite, color, and disposition. I have noticed that with many other species of snakes, there appears to be a correlation between attitude and appetite, however, with these snakes, I have noticed the opposite. I think that because they tend to be a bit nervous to begin with, the exceptionally nervous, and thus, most aggressive animals, tend to be the most likely to get stressed and go off feed. None of the babies seem to get stressed to the point of refusing to eat entirely, only in terms of skipping a meal or two before going back. However, I have chosen to select mostly the more even-tempered babies as holdbacks (with a couple exceptions) as they are often the easiest to work with and least likely to have stress-related secondary issues.
Anyway, here is Holdback #1 (H1) who didn't even musk me:
