Well I have about 80 babies out of the egg and just about 60 of the have already shed, no here is where the fun begins!
This weekend I start trying to get Photos of all babies, individually, normally not a big problem, I just stick them in the freezer for about 60 seconds and they calm right down......NO, I'm Just KIDDING!!!! Really, DO NOT put your corns in the Freezer because you read it here!
But the picture taking is normally pretty easy. I use a small 3" Plant saucer to let the hide under for a few seconds, lift it up and bingo, take their picture.
The fun is going to be feeding all these critters, I try and 15 per night (that is all the paitence I have) I get lucky with about 20% taking f/t pinks right away the rest is tease fed and that takes time. I even lock my snake room door so no one walks in and spooks them while I am feeding, Boas are so much easier when it comes to starting off the babies.
So I will be in my snake room for the next 6 months if any one needs me, send smoke signals..... I wonder if I can run cable out there LOL.
Talk to you all later and I will post pictures as soon as I can.
Thanks

>80< !! Oh, my. I can't imagine. It takes me an hour to try and feed 13. And I do have a radio in my snake house which helps some.

Hoppy you have more patience than me.I hate trying to force feed corns.I feel like im going to break them.I would rather force feed 80,8 foot long wc surinams.
