Breeding Corns - Males

[joepythons]

When I purchased the hypo, the man didn't say anything about him being het for anything. Who knows. How many eggs to corns lay? I'm hoping to get my incubator ready in the next month. At what temperature do you incubate them?

Well depending on your girls weight and size it could range from 4 to 12(this is what mine laid) and they could double clutch also.My 1 snow girl triple clutched jusy from one set of breeding sessions so breeding corns can be interesting

She is 300+ grams and over 3ft long. She is around 2 years old. The male is about half her size. I'm going to wait a few months before pairing them. What do I need to do to prepare them?

Just feed them properly they will do the rest .One thing i will warn you ahead of time.When you place them together and they are both in the "mood" for love they will thrash around like they are killing one another.Relax this is normal .I freaked my first time breeding my corns as i thought they were killing one another .

That sounds more like a bp range for clutch size. Corns are usually 10-25 eggs! Size has something to do with it, but it's not everything. I've had 500g girls give me 15 eggs, and I used to have this one female that was only ~400g, and she would consistently give me 22+ eggs for the first clutch, and 15+ for the 2nd.

I incubate them at 80º, pippies in ~60 days.

Well the clutches from my girls were while they were young and since i know longer have them thats the clutch sizes they had with me.I am sure they would give these higher counts now.

I was just pointing that I thought 4-12 seemed on the low side. Even 1st timers, if they're up to size and healthy and paired with a fertile male will give a decent sized clutch. I just didn't want the OP to be in shock if they were expecting 4-12, but then got 25!
