    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.....

    Re: What do you think of this idea?

    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.

    Re: What do you think of this idea?

    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.

    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.
