Previous breeders Question - Did you find them hard to get feeding, as i have been told previously that they are queit hard to get going with out scenting with finch or something like that.

Congo,
Probably half will start feeding fine without using finches or chicks. The trick, as with most snakes is let them get as hungry as possible. Don't even offer them food for about 8 weeks, then try.
Live hopper mice are usually the best. If you wind up with some really stubborn ones then go for finches or day old chicks.
