Good morning, Austin. She laid them at the bottom of the cage and I left the eggs with her for at least 24 hours until I took them out. I wiped off the vermiculite from them so I could see better how the eggs were doing as time went on. She came up right after I took the eggs out looking for food and I fed her good. She loves to eat lol. She did not go back in the box after that and I took it out. 84 degrees is what my snake room is naturally Spring through Fall. I have to admit I didn't start looking at what other people were doing with their Hogs until about a week ago when I started looking at this forum. I've been breeding snakes for 27 years, produced somewhere over 10,000 offspring and have never weighed eggs. I haven't got that technical yet. I'm a field guy and been way too technical with that. That's enough for me lol. But I'm curious why do you weigh the eggs?

Reako, FR is right. Santa Cruz is not a range extension though with the harsh drought AZ has been experiencing for the past 20 years it's putting a serious hurting on many animals. The western range appears to be reseeding. Years ago Hogs from this area were more more easier to come by. But, not as easy as in some Cochise localities. In 2000 you could find on average 3 per day at this location were these animals came from. By 2010 it would be 1 if your were lucky. Now it takes many trips to see one. A friend of mine lives in the vicinity and he would see them infrequently while doing errands. For the past 4 years he has not seen any. Though I do love end of range hunting (Heck I like all hunting!) I like herping here because it's some of the most beautiful country I've ever been.

Thanks for the input guys. This looks like a great forum to learn lots. Just in my short time here I've been blown away buy your experiences and methods.

Thanks again.

PL
