Taiwan is getting fat... need some help preparing for laying...

Millionpoundbomb Mar 01, 2004 01:33 AM

Alright, about 2 weeks ago my taiwans were breeding. I am going to seperate the male now because he was successful and she is getting larger. I can actually feel the eggs.

I was sent a great article on breeding ratsnakes(thanks Brienne)... but I have some more questions...

When she goes into her pre-egg laying shed I am going to give her a moist hide box.

Sould I use; soil, vermiculite, or moss?

Then when she lays, should I seperate the eggs? Or leave them in the egg mass? I hear with colubrids, it is best to keep them together.

I am pretty sure I cannot turn the eggs over, is that right?
And what temperature works best for all of you?

And last, is a hovabater a good incubator?(I would build one, but I am paranoid I will mess it up somehow)

Sorry for all the novice questions, all your experiences would be greatly appreciated.

I saw some mex. night snakes at a herp store, and I was just curious why thier requirements where.

They looked annery, and where about $250(I think) for a pair of juvis. Is that a good price? Just curious. I can't find any information on them. Thanks again.
