Hey all-

One of my LTC (>5 years) female Eryx muelleri laid 10 eggs (8 looked good, two unfertilized) on March 25th. Today April 14th, the first baby pipped. Two of the eggs look great, four look so so, and 2 might have went bad (we will see). These babies are truly "captive bred" (not from gravid imported females).

Cheers,
Chris

That's awesome. Congratulations on breeding them successfully and hatching the eggs.

I'd be interested to hear how the babies start. Make sure you update us.

Thanks for the congratulations Chris. According to Rick S. the babies are supposed to be great feeders.... I guess we will see.

My adults 1.2 eat great. They took to f/t adult mice with ease.

Thanks,
Chris

Two babies are out, I fear the rest of the eggs have gone bad.

When do they color up? They look like Kenyan Anery's right now! You only ever see WC Adults for sale, I don't think I've ever seen the babies. Might be some commercial value to Saharan babies?

if they stay white and black for a while, they'd sell real good.....you still have any males? my son has an adult female I've just never considered breeding them because of the adults low resale value. But if babies look like that.......
