Thanks! You have quite the variety of animals also.

1.2 Columbian Redtails
3.3 Burms(mixed morphs)
2.3 Retics(2purples,1 lav.SD,1 lav tiger,1 SD
1.1 BRB
2.4 Dumeril Boa

Its not a huge collection, but a varied one.

Looks like you have a good size collection of big snakes to care, 2 burms are enough big snakes for me. The feed bill for the 2 of them is bad enough. I'd hate to see you feed bill for all your big ones. OUCH!!

My main interest are the Dums, I am expecting one litter this year. The Albino Burms have always been a favorite of mine. The male will be old enough to breed this year, the female is a 3yr old. Everything else is just for fun.

I am gonna start breeding Tokay Geckos & maybe Pictus Geckos just for the fun of it as soon as I get my herp room finished. Tokays have always been one of my favorite lizards.

It's not too bad yet, but thats because only one of them is over 10' the rest are 2 or younger and around 5-8' long, retics are what I'm really into but need more room first. Do those geckos breed multiple times like leopard geckos?

Generally both the Tokay & Pictus will breed and lay eggs year round. Especially the Pictus Geckos.

The good thing about the Pictus Geckos is their size (5-6 inches for adults). You can put 1 male and 3-4 females in a 20gal long tank and your set. A friend of mine told me he used to get 2 eggs a month out of his females, 12 months out of the year. And he had 2 breeder tanks setup like what I described above. They only sell for about 20-3O bucks each. They are also good to barter with at pet shops. LLL Reptile and California Zoological Supply (CalZoo) are always wanting to buy "surplus" herps.

My thought is, IF, I can get them going good and sell them, it sure would help pay for snake food.

I meant to say he would get 2 eggs a month FROM EACH FEMALE, 12 months out of the year. And 80% of the time, both eggs hatched.

But, he is also a seasoned herper. I am not used to incubators yet. It should provide good practice for me.
