here is a shot of my "nursurey" and a few of the babies. the ones pictured are the good healthy eaters. most the others still have yet to eat. enjoy the pics.

i hatched a clutch from 7/7 to 7/9 and i have 9 babies that are not eating yet. how long can they go until i should consider force feeding. or should i try any tricks to get them to eat? i rubbed some of the babies on my pacman frog to try and scent them with frog, and i also used baby ducks to...

so i bred my snows... tsuki laid 18 eggs. 1 slug. while incubating 1 got really moldy and looked yellow. i scalpeled it off of cluster and was sad to see that the internals were fine. but the other 16 hatched out 100%!! got a whole lotta white and pink babies. some did well and ate right after...

so tsuki layed 17 eggs. all really good sized and nice looking. no slugs. one started to get some yellowish look to it so i scalpeled it off of the cluster. turns out the egg was viable. had veins and everything. bummed out about that. it was just mold on outside of egg. coulda listerined it...

all last night i heard different noises comming from tsukis tank. woke up and saw the first egg "crowning". YESSSS!!!! OMG! i am excited. got a question. i'll check this from work but its 6am now and i get home at 4. will the eggs be okay in the viv for a while or should i come home at lunch...

well i might be moving this weekend. my snake has not yet laid and im worried about moving her. plus if she has laid im worried about moving the eggs. any advice on doing this?

tsuki has just been cruisin her tank and chillin in her laybin since her shed. we are at about 5 days in... the suspense in killing me. i check her in the morning. i check her during the day(when im home) and i check her when i go to bed. just give me eggs.

tsuki just shed her prelay skin... she is scopin out her lay bin now. i am nervous. first time breeding snakes. incubator is warm and waiting. i am going to get perlite first thing after work on way home. LPS was out of hatchrite!!! WTF?! mix ratio is- 3:4 right? water:perlite i got a...

so i noticed that Tsuki is no longer milky looking and i did not find a shed in her tank... she is gravid and im guessing that maybe she shed and ate it? do snakes do this? i know my geckos would do it but never heard of a snake doing this. any input? and her lay bin is in there, just in case...

i bred my snow female to a salmon snow male. the female is a true snow and the male was given to me. if he has hidden hets and he bred with my female will some of the babies show his het traits? or would both parents have to have the het, and the babies will just carry over the het with less...

so i had some time off today and put it to use. i got a new styro cooler because my old one was too big. and i used my existing parts: 8w heat mat, thermostat, digital temp guage. its in the process of getting to temp right now so i can dial in how warm it needs to be. what you think? i...

so befor my eggs are even here. when the time comes to need the feeders i dont want to be stuck with hungry babies, waiting for a shipment. i want to order from mice direct, but the shipping calculator said its 107$ to ship them!! its only 7$ for the 100 little pinks. is this correct? is...

im so excited. my female is in blue right now and that means i am SO close to getting some eggs. i cant wait! this is my first cornsnake breeding so i am very excited.

i have used my styro cooler incubator for gecko eggs but i didnt use a tub of water for humidity for them. i just used hatchrite and the heatmat/thermostat. they hatched fine but i was curious if i should use a water pan in the incubator for the cornsnake eggs. how big? how much water...

i did not know that inter-species breeding was possible between snakes. then i started searching on here. holly molly! those are some wicked looking snakes. do people think the value of a mix breed snake is lower than that of a morph? how are they created? male/female-king/corn or does it...
