Sorry for everyones losses;
Why don't someone make up two surveys (two Posts), one for the egg eaters, and one for the non egg eaters, but the same questions. with about 10-15 questions on housing. We could then compare, and see if we come up with simalar housing technics, that might explain.
Knock on wood! I have never had any eggs ate that I know of, but I only breed 3-5 cluches a year.
Listening, it sounds like the heavy eaters might be the hungry ones,
Here are a few Questions you might ask;
(1) How offen, and how much do you feed during the gestation period?
(2) when did they come out of Brumation?
(3) what month did they consume their clutches?
(4) what kind of snakes are the egg eaters
What ever else you can think of that might get to the possible answer.
Just a Thought; Bob
