17 of my 18 eggs hatched 5 weeks ago. All but 1 shed, it went into blue eye as normal, but just never shed. All its skin is now crinkly, but won`t come off. Anyone else had a similar problem? and is there anything I can do to help it?

My eggs have now been incubating for 70 days at 82-83 degrees. 18 eggs, all look good, but not one has hatched. This is my 4th year breeding, but i`ve never waited this long, is this normal? Anyone else had to wait this long??

Whats the longest your snake has stored sperm and produced viable eggs? The reason i`m asking is that, if I didn`t know better i`d say my Anery Female is gravid. She`s filled out incredibly over the last 4 weeks and now is becoming very restless. She did breed last year, but hasn`t been near a...

I know it will have been asked before, but how often do you feed your adult corns? The reason i`m asking is that i`ve stopped feeding 1 large mouse a week, and now feed 1 extra large mouse every 2 weeks. Now the snakes seem less lethargic. When they do feed, they attack the mouse like i`ve...

This year my Anery Jungle laid 29 eggs, but the last one stuck. After trying every method to move it, I ended up paying an expensive visit to the vets. He sorted her with no need for surgery, and a course of antibiotics. Question is, should I breed her again, or is another egg retention...

7 days after successfully laying 26 eggs, i`ve noticed a large swelling round my female Jungles vent. I`m sure she`s egg boung with at least 2 eggs. She`s also in shed. This is the 1st time ive had a snake with this condition. Anyone any tips? She`s a lovely snake and I don`t want to lose her.

I mated my Male Crimson to my Female Jungle on March 8th & 10th, a month earlier than normal due to the mild winter. Everything seemed fine. Female ate everything that moved, apperared to be getting fatter as you would expect. Yesterday she shed, which I assumed would be her pre-lay shed, but...

I`m trying to upload a file onto the forum, on the manage attachements tab, but it`s telling me the picture is too large. I might seem a technophobe but how do you shrink the picture to web size so that it can be uploaded??

:flames: Out of my 15 baby jungles this year, 1 stood out above the rest for attitude. Straight from the egg this girl was wild, rattling and striking like crazy. Don`t beleive a hatchling can`t draw blood. This one tagged me twice in the 1st week. She even tried striking at me thru her...

7 weeks after laying 15 fertile eggs. My Jungle corn has just laid 2 slugs. I knew there was something wrong because she stopped feeding and has been roaming round her cage for the last 2 weeks. But i didn`t expect this. Has anyone else had this happen? and why such a gap between the good batch?

For months now i`ve been buying frozen mice in the Hull area and the quality has gone down drastically. I`m sure theyre all buying in bulk from the same place. The mice are stuck together, twisted, and when thawed theyre wet and stink. My Rat snakes even refuse them unless they get really...

Does anyone incubate there eggs in airtight containers, and if so how often do they let them air? I`m only asking because i`m off on holiday for 2 weeks, and reckon if I leave them airtight the container will retain all its moisture.

My female jungle corn has just laid about 15 eggs, and all of them are stuck to the nest box. I want them out and in the incubator, but dont want to destroy any dislodging them. Anyone got any ideas???

My male Amel and female jungle corn mated on 5th April. She just shed yesterday as expected. But shes still greedily feeding. I expected her to have stopped before now. Is this an indicator shes not pregnant? :shrugs:

Do you put your Males in with your females or vice-versa?? The reason I ask is that I Put my Male amel in with my Jungle Corn. She was interested, he wasn`t. Then I put my Male Anery in with her. Again no interest. So then I put her in his enclosure. Mating started immediately. Why? Has...

I have 3 corns left from my last years batch. 2 of them have 59 pairs of scales from the vent to the tip of the tail. The other 66. Would it be safe to say the 1st 2 are females while the latter is a Male? (none have been probed - don`t fancy the idea!)

I know this has probably been brought up before. But does anyone feed their corns on day old chicks? I`ve just bought some, and the pet shop owner argued that there is no nutritional value in them at all for snakes. Is this true? as i know people who have fed snakes nothing else for years...

Every year I have the same problem with my male Anery. From January for about 12-14 weeks he just refuses to eat, as he patrols up and down his enclosure looking for a mate. This year tho he has now gone 6 months without eating, and is showing no interest in food at all. Altho hes not...

Having several snakes I dont have time to take them all out of their vivs and feed them individually. So I feed them in the viv. The substrate I use in fine wood chips. It works great, but occasionally a snake will ingest a piece or 2 with a meal. Could this be a problem? In the wild they must...

About a month ago 1 of my females had 2 terrible sheds, the cycle lasting 3-4 weeks. This time she shed fine. But now a male is experiencing the same problem. He hasn`t eaten for about a month, went thru "blue eye" and has been clear for over a week. I can see half his skin is loose, but he...
