Two of my breeding corns have had a odd time with regards to breeding.
Her first year resulted in a triple clutch. However only three babies from the first clutch survived (plus one still born) and the two other clutches where all lost. One of the babies had a head deformation, a very small eye and a normal sized eye and he unfortunatley he passed. The two other snakes where 100% healthey and all was well until they went to new owners. The first let her snake escape, the second went to a local reptile shop for holiday sitting and they forgot to feed the snake resulting in its death. So none made it from first year (unless there is a wild Amel corn in the westcountry, UK!)
In the second year, she produced another triple clutch of which all eggs died.
The third year (This Year). Her first clutch was all fertile but when it reached midterm they all died. Her second clutch looked as if all the eggs were covered in snowflakes and hence I didn't have high hopes. However all but one egg survived, they have now hatched and all of the 12 babies (amel, het anery type A) are 100% healthy!
What an odd time. Has anyone else experienced an ordeal like this?
- Just too add, All of the parameters in the incubator were spot on everytime with no power cuts, heat fluctuations etc etc. Both snakes are 100% healthy and good sizes, the male is over 6ft!
