Breeding guide

i was just wondering theres a lot of threads out there of i introduced my male ????? to female ????? and shes laid eggs?

is it really that easy ?

you just let them get on with it ?

how do you know if they have mated or not?

Next one is about 60 days later

look what was looking at me

again is it that easy ?

do you put them in a incubator and leave for 60- days *(or until a crisp golden brown)*?

Also i have heard of complications do you get theses with most clutches or is it a rare event?

also if theres any things i compleely missed then feel free to enlighten me to they joy/torments of being a snake breeder!

:confused: :confused: :confused: :D :D :D :eek: :eek: :eek: :) :)

This is the guide I'm following:

thanks :D
but i was also looking for more personal experience the sort of stuff they dont put in books/ webpages

but i will definatly be following that and peoples advice when i eventually get my two sankes and breed them

and i will do it even if it takes me 40 years to feel that i could support an animal.

No it is not just that easy. There is a lot of work involved even when your just trying to get them to breed

You have to pay attention to them and see if they lock up
Even if they do breed they are still not 100% to produce eggs
