Trying to get an idea of how many animals are produced each year. Please contribute......

Brian Oakley Feb 21, 2004 12:43 AM

Ok, talking with a friend, yes we like to brainstorm, we were thinking about how many snakes are produced each year nation wide.
we would like you to tell us (accurate numbers please) how many snakes you produce each year. I will be posting this on other forums so please do not reply to the same post on another forum as we will be keeping track. For this study, we are talking snakes alone, if you breed different types, that is fine to include them all in one post. Not to forget about the amphibain, lizard, torts, etc. people, but just work with us here.
I am sure there are things you would think of to add to this inquiry, but that is something we can do in the future. Just wanted a general number for now on the above question.

I have produced at the most about 200 per year. I hope to breed one pair this year and two pairs next year.

two clutches this year and four next.
I have 16 eggs at the moment and plan on breeding one other pair this season and I will have four breeding pairs next season.

Last year I produced one clutch (8 eggs) of California Kings, and one clutch (8 eggs) of Appalachicola/Goini eggs.

This year I plan on producing 2 clutches of corn snakes, 2 clutches of california kings, 1 clutch of Appalachicola/Goini kings, and possibly (but not terribly likely) 1 clutch of either pure pyro pyro, or a pyro/?? hybrid.

Next year: 4 clutches of corns, 4 clutches of cal kings, 1 clutch of appalachicola, and depending on whether or not breeding size is reached, 4 black rats, 2 Goini, 1 jurassic milk.

This season is expected 800 babies, maybe some more if several females pickup during the season. Hope this help.

Kat Feb 22, 2004 02:41 AM

I'm expecting 10 first clutches this year, and atleast 2 of my females doubleclutch, so using the average of 10 good hatchlings per clutch, that comes out to about 120 cornsnakes, give or take.
