I'm a fellow Bredl's Carpet lover in Castle Rock, CO. I have a 2002 1.1 pair of striped Bredl's which I purchased from Casey Lazik. First time mother,"Brandy" Bredl dropped her clutch in September 2006. The eggs were incubated at 89 degrees and started hatching Thanksgiving Day 2006 (56 days).
She dropped 24 eggs that looked viable and roughly 16 slugs.
In the end, I wound up with 8.8 vigorous, healthy and feeding baby striped Bredl's. 3 or 4 of the eggs were spoiled by excessive moisture and 3 hatchlings were born with severe spinal deformities and were subsequently euthanised.
This was the first clutch of snakes that I incubated and hatched out. Next time, I plan on dropping the incubation temperature to 87 degrees and checking the Sterilite containers for excess condensation every other day.
If anyone would like to see pics of the mother and a couple of the baby striped Bredl's, please email me at:

How do you post pics in this forum? (I'm a forum newbie!)
