    Re: Snake Room Planning - Thoughts?

I assume that I will be rid of some hatchlings before others hatch, but to be on the safe side I use this formula.

    X - Y = Z/2
    X = 100
    Y = 40

    100 - 40 = Z/2
    60 = Z/2
    60/2 = Z
    30 = Z

    THEREFORE

    X-Z = A

    A = the number of bins I should have

    100 - 30 = A
    A = 70

    If I have 10 breeder females I will need 70 bins to be on the safe side, but you could probably get away with fewer bins.

    Hope this wasn't too confusing.

    Aaannndddddd you lost me. JK, I haven't seen math like that since my first year of college though.
