First breeding season?

This will be my first season and I am very very very excited:carrot:… did I mention how excited I was??? ;)

This last season I tried one of my females...but no dice. She's even bigger this year, as are a couple of other girls I have.


I'm hoping on 3-5 clutches for my first season with eggs, should be some fun stuff!:D

This will be my first year as well, I am very excited to see how it goes. I have 1 female ready and possible 1 other. I am also using Adams calander, can't wait to get started..

This will be my second season and I think I have 4 girls that will be ready(Amani, Breth, Alaranth and Arith). I don't know if I'll pair them all up though. Depends on it I have the room or not. The males that should be ready to breed will be the Pastel, the Yellowbelly, the het Pied, MAYBE the Spider male and MAYBE the Black Pastel. I started cooling last season in January and started pairing in February. Worked out just fine :)

Will have at least one ready to try my luck! Maybe two but its highly doubtful. And like everyone extremely excited. Unless the snake gods can find me some huge females and in a hurry and drop them in my lap!

My first season also. I only have one large female, about 1900 gm so a pretty good size. I'm still worried though that maybe she just won't go. Maybe I should get another large female or 2.

I'm HOPING my big girl will be ready this year.. I've only got one that's even close to the possibility, and she doesn't want to work with me on feeding at the moment... She's 4ft and just under 1400g, so unless she starts eating consistently I can't see her making it. The problem is she only eats live so far, and live is difficult for me to work out at the moment... Switching her to F/T will also take time if she'll switch at all, and if she's going to breed this year fasting is not something she can do right now.

All of my snakes take F/T consistently except my pastel male. The hatchlings don't seem to care. They're voracious eaters. My 3 normal females take F/T rats off the tub floor. I don't even need to elicit a strike. They just grab them and eat them. Its great. I hope my future snakes are just as agreeable eaters.

My first season too!

I have two girls who are definitely big enough, and two that I'm hoping will be ready later in the season. My pinstripe male and pastel male should see some action, and possibly one of my het albino males to make some 50% girls...I haven't quite decided yet.

I'm giddy but rational and focussed. I've already acquired a broken down mini-fridge to make an incubator, and am building a 30-slot baby rack this weekend...it's going to house baby redtails for now, but mainly it's for my ball hatchlings this spring.

It's great to see that so many others here will be right along with the "Oh my God, I have eggs!!!"

Oh and Jess, I have never heard of your kind of skink before, they are really neat looking. How are your Catahoulagins doing?
