Congads I love supers

 

[scm133]

Yes, by far they are my favorites. Super sweet personality!! Yas was such a gentleman with Karli. He did not leave any noticeable bite marks. She was not stressed a bit. I just swapped their hides one week before introducing. That way they recognized the scents when put together for one night.

Eggs are still looking good. My temps are 82 with a 84 max to 81 min range. I am trying to use my hovabator without a proportional thermostat since room temps are pretty stable.

 

[scm133]

Eggs are good. The temps started to get off during a cold spell. Florida weather has been crazy. One day you run the air conditioner, and the next day the heat. I went ahead and invested in a Herpstat Intro for the Hovabator, and disconnected the wafer thermostat. Temps are staying good, now.:main_thumbsup:

Second Clutch (Karli+Yas) today. Two healthy looking eggs. Man is she hungry!!

Third Clutch was laid 3-6-13. My first fatality. One was obviously a dud. It started collapsing immediately. I kept in in the incubator any way until today. It was almost flat, and smelly...tossed.

5 out of 6 is pretty good! Especially for a first time mother. Keep us updated with hatchlings!

Thanks. She will be 2 years in July. All my babies matured last year, but I held off a year in breeding. It has allowed them to fatten up rather nicely. I am still only concentrating on one or two pairs. Taking it slow, and learning. Eggs in the incubator, hatchling rack warm and ready......waiting

Karli laid 2 more eggs today. They are BIG!! She is doing great. Incubator is filling up. This Friday will be the 45th day for the first clutch....watching closely.

So exciting!

Day 53. Incubating at 82.6. First female SuperSnow hatched. She climbed right up on my hand, and I put her in her new warm home. So exciting!!!!

Nice super snow, congrats!

 

[scm133]

Thanks!! The second one hatched at 12:30 PM. She is smaller, but feisty and healthy. I am so relieved, since this was my SuperSnow's first clutch. Bring out the cigars..LOL!!!

Two hatches with the first clutch!? That's awesome; is this her first breeding season ever?

 

[Phoenix1115]

Yeah that's awesome! Most of my first timers lay dugs as their first eggs! Congrats on two beautiful babies!

 

[Art Geckos]

Really? And they absorb the egg? That makes sense cuz I've had a couple females chillin in dugs for days and never lay...

 

[Phoenix1115]

Either that or they lay infertile ones. Snakes can be the same way sometimes too

 

[scm133]

Yes this is her first clutch ever. She is a year and 8 months. I am so pleased with her. She has laid four clutches so far. There was one bad egg in clutch #3. She is gravid now, and due #5 clutch next Weds. She eats like a monster in-between eggs.

That's great to hear! Sounds like a healthy girl =)
