Post Milksnake hatchling feeding

Hey guys!

So people keep telling me to do research about feeding, and I have! Trust me! But I'm hearing different things from others and it's quite confusing!

My Lou is a hatching albino Nelson milksnake. The Clerk at the reptile shop said she had been feeding her noisemaker crickets since the pinkies were still to large. Make sense right?? (To me, at least) but! I have not seen any videos about feeding them crickets. They keep feeding them the pinkies. Lou is probably no thicker than a pencil, should I try to feed her a pinki still? Even though it's easily at least twice as thick as her?

Thanks guys, it means a lot!

Nelson's milksnakes can eat pinkies for their first meal. There is no reason to attempt to feed it crickets. It may not even eat them. It sounds like the pet store clerk had no idea what she was talking about. Give it a pinky.

If you're worried about the pinkie being too large, you can try day old pinkies, or a frozen pinkie cut in half.

That snake is plenty big enough to eat a pink.

Also, find a new pet shop.
