What is the best way to give the mother calcium and Vitamin D? Are small weanling mice rich enough in calcium? My snakes are very insistent on not having to eat large food items. Should I supplement the mother pyro's diet with a few lizards? I raise parasite free fence lizards.



I feed my snakes mice raised on a quality rodent diet. With my first clutch of pyros last year out of 7 babies one was kinked at its tail, and it died. The other 6 are robust. The eggs were nice and white, no clear spots.



My bull snake also laid her first clutch and some of the eggs had faulty calcium coating but they hatched perfect babies.
