Bumblebee Tuna look is awesome! Where'd you get that guy? Very interesting pairing! I really like the males colour and contrast, he's sweet! Big guy too it looks like.

The whole clutch was lost. I attempted to let her incubate them. Maybe next year when I have more time and space I will try again.

What changes are you going to make to assist maternal incubation next time? What do you think went wrong this time? Just curious.

Have a back up plan for power loss...

OOohh yeah never thought of that.... We have back up attached to our incubator, nothing to the snakes.... Interesting, how are you fixing that? Whole generator set up I imagine? Friend of mine did that in Vancouver, I could direct you to him if you'd like.

I just down sized my collection recently so I wont be attempting to breed this pair for another few years, and when I do I wont have any other snakes breeding so my incubators will all be free.

I was looking forward to it also.
I'm still toying with the idea of breeding now, just to see what they produce.
