I give up. Giving mine away.
Came home from Arizona to find a water dish full of dead decomposing babies. They were all fully formed. The water was barely an inch deep. How did this happen again. I'm not putting any more snakes through this. If anyone lives in CA and wants to give them a better home come pick them up.

Re: I give up. Giving mine away.
My red tail finally gave birth. Again I wasn't home at the time, and when I got back, they were all dead and rotten in the water dish.

Oh no ...That's awful... so sorry to hear it  How many did you lose? Did they all go into the water dish and drown? is that what you think happened? It sounds like this has happened to you before...

Re: I give up. Giving mine away.
Last time she dug out the substrate turning it into a toilet bowl of amniotic fluid in which they drowned in. This time they were all in the water dish. I couldn't stand the sight or smell of it so I left to cool down, when I clean it i'll get a count. It looked like only a couple slugs and a good amount of fully formed neonates..

Re: I give up. Giving mine away.
i'm really sorry to hear this has happened again Randy
you are bound to feel disheartened,but don't throw in the towel mate
give it some time,then sit and write down,everything you can remember of the two births.see if they have anything in common,that could have contributed to this outcome
it must feel like crap now my friend,but IMO, it will feel a lot crappier,if you give up
don't beat yourself up about it,it serves no purpose,giving yourself a hard time
you may have a female,that through no fault of yours,had bad births
if you find no equiptment or husbandry faults,then it may well be its just mother nature
please Randy,give it some time,before you make a final decision,you may regret later mate
cheers shaun

Shaun x 2
Seriously I can see the frustration and anger but it isn't your fault. Could she just be a terrible mother?

Re: I give up. Giving mine away.
I'm so sorry that this happened. I'd hate to see you give up, though. Was this the same female both times?

Maybe it's what Kevin said, it's the mother?
