I can't wait.. How long does it usually take for snakes to lay eggs? And once they're laid how long till they hatch...

Re: Woot, got a stud coming in next week!

Online I've read everything from 40-65 days after copulation and hatching 55-65 days later... My only issue is that EVERY website I look at says to incubate the eggs at 95% humidity... In my experience having humidity that high for that long is asking for mold and bad eggs.

Hmmm...if I were you I'd research the standard humidity in the region that they naturally occur in, and use that as a starting point...if worst comes to worst, you could always split the clutch and incubate at different humidities. You'd lose half (probably), but it'd be better than guessing wrong and using them all :/

It would also be a good way of knowing that the humidity is for the future clutches if you split them half and half.

Very neat snakes, too bad they are amazingly unpopular and have such a bad market, or I'd own a pair.

Yeh, they are bitey, and have a feeding response that never ends. Incredibly beautiful animal.

I wouldn't be breeding mine if I didn't already have 9 people who want babies. Most of my clutch if not all of it already has future owners.

How exactly do you find people that want reptiles before you even start breeding? I have been considering breeding my leos but finding people who want them beforehand to know if the babies would sell (have no room for lots of babies that never sell) is causing me some doubts to breed.

When you see Kirana you will know how crazy her color pattern is, people talk and I've gotten a few phone calls from people I've never met who want a baby. That and a few ssnakess members want babies aswel.

I forget you are in Canada where a lot of our other members are around the forum. You would think it would be easier here in Texas where you can own just about anything without a problem...-sighs- Its the one thing really holding me back from breeding anything. But at the same time it is an experience I want to...well...experience.

Beardies wont be such a big deal, they are inexpensive to feed. Worst case you sell them to pet shops after trying to sell direct.
