Farmers raise cattle for a whole year and if at the end of that year they net $100/head they are doing good. I spend a max 5 minites a week extra on neonate coastal above what I would for other self starting snakes. This effort runs for about 6 to 7 weeks before 90% are feeding on f/t pinks all by themselves and are ready to go. When you're getting 400 for a hypo or 250 for a nice locality animal that is pretty good return on the time you invested.



I got three clutches form my coastals last year about 9 weeks apart and only have a handfull of hold overs from last year. Funny thing is I put them down for a break this witer and brought them up a couple of weeks ago and everyone started eating the first attempt. Meal 5 is being fed tonight. Hope to move them out prior to brigning the adults up!
