Hey Demon, the general rule of breeding is '3'.
3 Years old,
3 feet long,
300 grams.
That's what most would consider to be the BARE MINIMUM.
Also remember what has been mentioned earlier, if you have 20 eggs and they all hatch, you'll need to have 20 COMPLETELY separate tubs for them to live in, until they're a fair bit older.
And when selling to 'make money', it's still YOUR responsibility to make sure that the new owners have the intelligence to look after a snake, and the patience that some require.
Think 20 hatchlings, on a minimum of 1 pinky per week for 6 weeks until you let them go.
That's 60 quid with a price of 50p per pinky.
Plus the individual tubs, £5 each (ish), that's another 100 quid.
Breeding should never be taken lightly, I'm lucky because I have an old 4 foot fish tank, with a multitude of perspex splitters to create 16 hatchling starter 'units'.
Always think if you'd be able to handle breeding before doing it, even when you think you're ready, half the time something happens that stuffs it up. |

I have 23 eggs in the incubator from my female bloodred x Amel Mot (ph blood) male.
I also have 12 eggs from my big snow girly x Anery male. These are very precious eggs as the female died, before starting to lay, of an unexplained haemorrhage. I had to "recover" the eggs myself which was not pleasant. I therefore really want at least one to hatch, to keep in memory of Malibu.
I have one left to lay but a few weeks yet  |
