What problem are we facing when it comes to moving our hatchlings from the incubation container to a cage or bin that has the thermogradient? In the few hunded hogs I have hatched out, I have never had a hatchling not feed for me. Yes, some need scenting but scenting only last for 2 to 3 feedings and then they are taking unscented without fail.



I am interested to see your take on this Frank. Like you say, we are constantly learning. The day we refuse to learn or stop learning is the day we should stop keeping. All I have to offer you is my experienc keeping them in captivity. So far what I have been doing is working for me and I assume it is working for the snakes as well being that they are breeding season after season, feeding well, get through 10 weeks of brumation without a problem and all offspring start off strong. So far all ofspring I held back have gone on to produce nice, big, fertile clutches.



Thanks for the conversation Frank.
