I have some that are on day 71, perfect looking eggs incubated at 30.5 - 31.5. This is the longest I have ever waited for a clutch to hatch.
Nice work Congo!

Congo | 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.
