Starting

So I decided to start out by having "food" ready for my snake. Today I went and bought a mouse already pregnant since I thought it would be a good start and a male and I didnt care what the other 2 were but Im just happy not that I dont have to keep going back to the pet store all the time buying feeders. I had their tank set up and such and now there just all happy in their tank (not knowing their snake food except the mama, shes gonna be having the babies and the male so he can keep tapping that, well you get it but never mind) and yea, now I can just breed my feeders on my own but I think I started out very well :banana:

Is the male the father of the babies? If not he will eat them.

if he doesn't i will! :D

Yeah take the male out once you have babies or else bad stuff might happen as far as eating babies, attacking females, etc. Usually it is not a concern, but sometimes the male goes rouge and you get problems. Nice job starting your own breeding, MAKE SURE the mice you got are healthy as you want healthy babies and also make sure it doesn't get too hot, no one runs out of food or water, they have stuff to hide in. These things are all of the things i have noticed will make females get scared and start eating their young.
