2023 BREEDING SEASON

Your corns are amazing. The colors are just fascinating. Good luck in your breeding and thank you for sharing the photos.

My individual incubators rap around the top shelf of my Snake Trailer now. 77 so far, with 3 females to go. Closed plastic containers with moist vermiculite, incubate at room temperatures of 80-81 at night to 83-84 during the day, for an incubation time of about 70 days.

The first clutches were laid around 6-20, so about 9-1, I will have a bunch of clutches hatching.

Joe I think you produce the finest corns out there. I had one of your landrace lavas over a decade ago and it remains the best looking snake I’ve ever had. How can I get my hands on your magma line snakes?

Babies will start hatching around Sept. 1st. They have to shed, start feeding and get sexed. A majority of my stuff goes to wholesale, but I hold the best back, and will make up a 2023 List for sale at that time.

I might even have to get back on line and start selling my higher dollar stuff myself due to the market. When thinks get good again, I will be back of 100% wholesale if I can get away with it.

You did get the best breeder I had at the time. His photo is in my 2023 Wild Line Breeding thread, along with many of his offspring. Everything RedCoat in my wild lines came from him.

Please do keep me informed if you plan to retail any of your 2023 babies!

Just an observation and question. Do you ever get concerned that breeding on pine chips that some of those chips could enter the cloaca, where she has opened to breeding, or the hemipenis has entered the cloaca, whereas she is not in the process of defecating?

When I bred, I always bred in a clean container with no substrate, not even newspaper or paper towers. I never wanted to take a chance.

I don't use pine shavings at all because a chip entered the cloaca and I didn't realize it. this was years ago. It caused an infection and took months of treatment to clear up.

Beautiful pairings and beautiful snakes by the way.
