Hi

Been a while since i last posted in here

I have only a few ratsnakes left, as i due to moving and reconsideration of my keepings have revised it a bit.

I have diones still though (three varieties, but will probably end up with only one).

On the 7. June i got three eggs from my Chinese red/yellow diones. The animals are from 2003, so still quite young.

The eggs started hatching yesterday, after only 26 days - thats amazing i think. I have incubated them in vermiculit at a variable temperature ranging from 21 degress to 29 degress Celcius (standing in a small box with vermiculit in my terraria-room)

This is one of the parents, i hope to be able to post pictures of the juveniles later today

Jan, nice dione.

That's about the same amount of time it took my South Korean dione to hatch. Actually, the Chinese should take a little longer most times.
