Sorry to hear all of this Aubrey. I kno whow hard it is to put so much energy into something and then not have it work out. Last year I had my heart set on breeding chondros for the first time. Everything went perfectly except for one thing.... No eggs! At that point I had to tell myself that the real joy of keeping these animals is keeping these animals. Breeding is extra. You're doing fine by your snakes if your adults are happy and healthy.



5 or 6 years ago I had real good results breeding panther chameleons. I decided to try again three years ago and it was a dismal failure. I had tons and tons of eggs and not one hatched. They would go full term and then just start to die on me one by one. Fully developed babies in the egg. I have no clue what I did wrong.



This chameleon failure got me to think a little bit about the animals I keep. I decided that three species was too much for me. Especially since all their requirements were quite different. Now, I only focus on chondros and Brazilians. There are some very cool animals out there (I still think about those cal-king pics you posted). But, I know I need to limit myself.



People have said it already.... There's always next year. One little piece of advice I might offer about the Brazilians is to leave them together for a long time. If we're not carefully clued in to them then we might not know exactly where, in their reproductive cycle, they're at.
