What do you think of this idea?

Hi,

I was browsing a cornsnake forum earlier and came across a thread that seemed really novel and a good fit for discussion in here.

The original thread is here.

I wondered if anyone had opinions on this or had ever tried anything similar in the past?

Wonder if it would work in only a few days. I have hoggie eggs hatching in the next week. Would be worth trying for sure. Talk about hard to get started....hmmmm.....

Hmm that's interesting... Nice find.

I am going to file this information in the back of my dusty brain. Thanks for sharing.

Very interesting article. Thanks for posting. I don't know that I will be trying this any time soon, as I don't really breed any species that are known problem feeders. An interesting thought came to me though, and I wonder how you would go about doing this for a live bearing species. (that last line was meant to be funny, as I know it isn't possible without affecting the mother as well).

Interesting. Maybe I'll try this when my variable kingsnakes are old enough to breed.

Yeah, I heard of that before. I wanted to try it but never got around to it, I always keep forgetting. Maybe I'll give it a try this year, though I usually don't have that much trouble getting the baby balls to eat.

That is very interesting.. I'll keep it in mind.

Interesting....hmmm...I wonder if it would work on people too....you could say, rub mom's preggo belly with broccoli, carrots,and spinach, and the kid would have no problem eatin' his veggies!! :D

Very interesting indeed, one thing that I wonder,

its so humid in the egg box, and so warm, I wonder how fast mold will start to develop on the before mentioned rat guts.

What a great find!! On a second note ......... I wonder if you could scent the egg boxes with hotdogs!!!!

A python that eats hotdogs????

Seriously, that is a really good find.

ahahaha you would definitely save money

haha hot dogs! nice

I know this is an old thread, but for those of you that were talking about scenting the egg box -- the article was talking about scenting the actual eggs themselves with a liquid. Just leaving rat bedding in the egg box wouldn't do the trick.
