Just a quick and sad update: I needed to sell Orion (melanistic schrenckii) last month since we needed money asap and he was the most "expensive" snake we had I'm so sad about it, I'm not really sure I will get back to breeding snakes.
We have 10 eggs from Artemis&Orion pairing but I'm not sure if they will hatch since some of them seem to be too dry while others seem to have issues wth mold... It looks like they have too much humidity and are too dry at the same time.
I also needed to rehome two of our three beardies since our living conditions changed a lot and we couldn't fit proper enclosures in our current flat. Now we have 8 reptiles and 2 dogs and it looks like it will stay this way for foreseeable future. Even if we will be able to fit more enclosures one day, I'm not really sure if I will still want to get more reptiles as after being "forced" by life to rehome three of my favourites I kinda lost a small part of my heart for this hobby.
Good thing is that one of the beardies went to my sister and I visit her a lot while the other one is with my friend so at least I can still be a part of their life.

Thank you so much!
It's not the end of the world but those three reptiles were ones of the "I'll never ever get rid of you" pets we have, it would be a lot easier if they were just a breeder collection purely for breeding purposes. I just knew it was for the best since sure, I could keep all three beardies in tiny enclosures and fit them into our flat but that would be soo extremely irresponsible of me. I also could have kept Orion but that would end with us not having a place to live, so yeah, life is about hard decisions sometimes. I believe it will be better soon too!
