Breeding guide

[martyb]

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!

thanks
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 just let them get on with it ?

how do you know if they have mated or not?

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

again is it that easy ?

No again there is lot of work involved

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

Again there is some involvement there you have to check on them and pay attention to the humidity and temps. ect.

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

Depends on the chutch some times things go great some times you have to sew the beating heart of a spider back into it chest.

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