damn, she drops a big clutch. Shame I'm out of the hobby.....almost. Did you make this after seeing my 2 normals?

ya lol I saw your post and couldn't help myself. the 2014 clutch had 20 good eggs but incubator problems so only 2 hatched. the true ghost female laid 46 total eggs herself and the normal laid 22 slugs

Beautiful. Eating already I see....what was the hatch date?

 

[reptilerancher]

the 8th was the hatch date. the only one I'm having troubles with is the one in the 4th pic down its the runt of the litter. with that said they are little spit fires each and every one of them.
I get bit every time I open any of the tubs lol

keep him in a totally dark enclosure, wait until he sheds, raise the temperature a little and brain a frozen pinky for him. You have brained frozen rodents before, or do you feed only live?

 

[reptilerancher]

ya I've done this before so the next step is trying live and then force feeding but that is a last ditch effort.

yea, force feeding never turns out well.....people will argue it causes more harm than good.
