Nice snakes!

How did you get them to eat frogs?
I can't get my male to do so much as to look at them!

Thanks Aaxel
Well they must have been eating frogs on the wild because once I had no more mouse for them but my frog stock for the herald were full so I tried and straight away he took construct it so it wasn't that hard !
Well Poobsta She actually just shed yesterday and full shed so I don't think she is battling at all ^^ but actually the male is struggling though I need to bath him almost all the time even with spraying them every day when shedding process starts and 2-3 times a week in normal condition :).

Hi Guys,
The first mating with the first male didn't work out so I put an other male and they mate straight away. Long story short my big girl got bigger and bigger every day and she layed today its my third clutch of the season, the other two being from Herald snake with 100% rate.
Anyway she layed five HUGE eggs I was surprise of the size actually. My herald layed 11 snake for 30gr and that L.Fuloginosus 5 eggs for 34gr ! Amazing anyway !
Here are a few picture.
Please if you have any advice feel free, I put them on compost (broken down leaves and bark + black soil) as I don't have access to anything else. And on a cupboard with a light in at around 28 C°.

Hi Guys

Got a bit of a problem, my eggs turned brown a few days back. I thought it was a sign of the babies ready to come out. But its was pretty weird because they were kept at around 25 C so it should have take more than 70 days. Today I checked and there were some tiny little worms on the eggs ...
It sounds bad I know...
What should I do ?

Thanks guys

Regards.

Cut them open but I think they are toast. Next time keep the eggs at 28 to 29 degrees. That will give you a better hatching rate.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Those who are afraid to ask are ashamed of learning.

Unlucky, build yourself a incubator as a constant temp of 28 to 30' is needed. I was lucky this season got 8 baby het for albino that hatched 7feb and on the 9th Feb my female dropped another 7 eggs so she really double clutched. Will post pics as soon as I work on how with an ipad :smt012
