Supplies

I am going to be getting into breeding and I wanted to know if I got everything I need. I have a rack system with heat tape and a thermostat, I have a huge supply of frozen mice, and a bulk bag of aspen bedding and a 500 pack of 12 oz deli cups. I have a incubator to with vermiculite, am I missing anything?

Just some breeding snakes...lol. You'll also need to pick up some patience. I still haven't managed to find much of that.

What are you using for your breeders' water dishes? Is the rack you have for adults or babies?

Babies are tough to start out on frozen mice, too. Do you have access to live rodents? How many clutches are you trying for? Do you have a plan of what to do with the babies? Just some things to think about.

Well I don't have the money to pick up breeding ready balls so I am going to pick up a couple babies which will take a couple years to get them ready for breeding but I'm using the deli cups for the water dishes but when they get bigger I will get bigger ceramic water bowls. I have access to live rodents there is a pet shop down the road and I am trying for two clutches and for the babies I plan to keep a few for future breeding and sell the rest and I am fully prepared to care for the ones that do not sell
