What addiction?!
After waiting 48 days, this girl finally decided to drop her eggs. Not sure why she held off on me. Pair #1 still hasn't laid her's yet and she bred a few days before this one. :awcrap:

Looks like 10 eggs! Nice! I am so in awe of all of you. I have to wait til next year to breed as my biggest female is only at 220 grams right now. My mantra is "patience is a virtue!" LOL
 
they look good and healthy - I might be needing some advice soon...

Just got off the phone to possibly buy a amel/ghost pair that apparently just decided to mate - so by friday I could have two new snakes one of which will possibly be gravid or at least well on her way to it..

Owner said they've had two clutches and seems to think she managed to kill both of them - mentioned that they seemed to dip after about 8 weeks? From what shes said they were healthy clutches - eggs were white/cream and regular in shape...

Im planning - if they breed - to keep them in a warm airing cupboard when they're laid which should provide the heat no problem - its just a matter of humidity etc isnt it?

Dont know whether I am up to this - and also not entirely sure I am not being fed a line by this person...

If the eggs started to dip after 8 weeks that means they were about to hatch. Eggs incubate for about 60 days, give or take. Most of the time when they are about to hatch they get dimples, almost like it's deflating. That's just the babies absorbing the last of the yolk in the egg.

If you can keep the temp between 76-84 degrees and the humidity around 90% they should be just fine.
 
Thanks every one. I'm hoping the eggs are all good. They were candled yesterday and I could only see veins in 3 eggs. :(

Even one stripe would make me ecstatic. LOL
 
I don't trust candling. I had a pair of doves once, were supposed to both be boys. One laid an egg in the grit dish. I candled it, saw it looked like a dud, figured it would keep her from laying more so I put it back for a bit. Yeah right. I had 3 doves for a while lol. They were frosters and I placed them.

Thats what I thought - but from all accounts the stupid woman chucked away 12 perfectly healthy corn eggs - mind you she is from rayleigh - where research is somewhere to the left of guesswork - if she had only waited a few days more she would have had a nice set of lil baby corns eating her out of house and home :(

I think I will suggest a UK law - anyone with an IQ under room temperature should not be allowed pets of any description *sigh*


We wanna see pictures of your little ones when they show up - PS - any changes with your one that got a little overheated? has he improved at all?
