Tokay Breeding question

4everherpn Mar 01, 2004 02:40 AM

What is the size of a breeding male and female? How big are the eggs? Must there be an adjustment in diet for the gravid female? I've heard of giving mice to the female to aid in nutrient replenishment from egg production. Anyone have a female they want to sell? 2 would be better. I have 2 males, which does me no good.

They could begin breeding sometime after 9 months of age at the earliest, prob around 9 inches or longer. I posted a pic with Tokay eggs on it just a few days ago on this forum, look for replies from me recently and youll find it. Their is prob some in my photo gallery possibly too, under Dakman. I feed my females a pinkie usually once a month. The eggs are roughly maybe 3/4 inch across. I could have some CB females in the near future, look what I found this morning. Just hatched last night or early this morning. Its only about 3 inches long and unusual to be out in the open like this. I usually dont start seeing them till close to a month old, they really are secretive when this young and hide well.

Thanks DAKMAN. You are a wonderful source of knowledge on Tokays. I'm sure more questions will arise as time goes.
