Hello,
I have a healthy adult Brahminy blind snake in a habitat composed of a small deli cup, sandy soil and layers of moisted sphagnum in which to burrow, a small plastic plant, and a piece of cork under which to hide, as well as a dime for size comparison. I would like to start a colony of these snakes in this little habitat, as they are parthenogenic, meaning that only one is required for colonization.
Is there anything I could do to stimulate "breeding?" Should young be seperated from the adults? What is the gestation period?
Thanks!
