    Re: 1st time hobby breeding Qs+ x-ray progress photo :)

    Just gotta say I love how snakes look on x-ray.

    Let me first say that I have not yet bred snakes, but because I really want to sometime in the near future, I have done a lot of research on it. That being said, since I have no experience breeding, I definitely suggest that you don't take my advice as the only ideas. Definitely get some advice from some experienced breeders first before following what I'm saying, and this site is a great place for that.

    That being said, from what I have learned through a lot of research is that people suspend the eggs above their vermiculite or perlite medium on egg crate because if they are sat right on damp medium, they can absorb water and drown the snake in the egg. I have seen people do both substrate-less (just water under the suspended eggs) as well as a dampened vermiculite or perlite substrate, and I think its just two different methods of incubating. Not sure if one is better than the other necessarily, just a different way to do it. For the humidity issue, I'd definitely wait to see about that until you have a quality digital hydrometer. If you are using the analog ones, let me just tell you I have had horrible ones that did not read accurately in the slightest. No way I'd trust them in an incubator.

    Thats really all I have for now. I obviously don't hold a candle to any of the breeders on here, some who have been doing it for many years. One suggestion I might make is to try to find a breeder in your area that will allow you to go to their place, check out their methods and equipment and what has worked well for them, and ask questions. Again, I definitely don't suggest you run with my advice, just wanted to share what I have learned. Nothing beats experience, so take what the experienced guys and girls on here tell you over what I have said any day.
