Hey all long time no speak hope you and all your snakes are good?
Anyways the reason why I'm here.. Quick update: we have 3 adult corns atleast 3+ living together in a 4x2x2.5 vivarium quite happily which we believe were all female, until about 2 and a half months ago that is.. You see where this is going right?
Anyway we were lumbered with 6 healthy eggs and they've begun hatching the last couple of days (they're in a sandwich box poked with holes ontop of damp sphagnum moss inside the Viv for warmth (80F))
Question one: one of the snakes won't leave them alone constantly sniffing about the box and being very twitchy, is this the mother? If so is this behavior normal?
Question two: morphs.. Do they keep the same general colour or do they change greatly throughout there life? Basically is it worth identifying there morph at a day old?
All help is appreciated, if there's anything were doing wrong / need to know please let me know, thanks again in advance, pics up soon! |

| i would say the main thing is to get your adults seperated as soon as possible to avoid any further clutches of fertile eggs. You say you have at least 3 snakes are you planning to house these hatchies in the same viv in which case it will be far too small, snakes are not social animals and prefer to live alone |

| I'm not getting into the big cohabbing debate, but the babies really do need to be housed alone in their own separate tubs. As for morphs, wait until they've had their first shed around a week after hatching because they come out of the egg pretty much in blue so it can be hard to tell sometimes |

| We have housed the corns in the same viv for a long while with no problems, they all get on fine we have 4 different hides for each to choose from but no we arent keeping the hatchies in the same viv, as they hatch they are being carefully removed and placed into their own tubs with tissue as bedding and to hide in with a bottle cap full of water.. sorry for no pics up yet as i cant figure out how to use this damn camera ¬.¬ |
