Hi just wanted to know once snakes hatch how long does it take until they shed, and when should u first try and offer food. How do you get them to take the food for the first time. Any info would be great

Should shed within about a week or so, try offering food after first shed. Some can be difficult to get started, try them with thawed pinkies / fuzzies depending on snake species, or live, might even need to scent the prey with skinks. They can go for weeks without feeding so don't panic if they don't eat straight away, just keep trying them. Best to try at night when they are active.

Also leave them for a week or so between attempting to get them to feed. You will get better feeding responses than if you try them every second day or so. Also, when you get them feeding, feed them every 3rd day for the first few and get them into a good feeding response mode.
Cheers
Daz
