It sure feels like snake central. Mike ended up with 12 eggs all of them healthy and a good size. So she is resting. After a second clutches my girls will not breed until next spring. So they get to rest.
And my work is just beginning.
I have four clutches still in the incubator. Two of the newly hatched clutches are resting and getting ready to shed. They are in a group set up. The oldest hatchlings(Pete and Sam's) have all shed and I have set them up two to a "baby" box(a special container with airholes, a water dish, a "house" and everything they need to feel safe and secure) and I will start trying to feed them.
In a few days Mike's babies will need to be set up in baby boxes and I will start offering food.
In a couple of weeks Aurora's babies will need to be set up and by then Raven's eggs should be hatching.
Good thing I have the boxes ready and lots of tiny water dishes and everything else. I brought home a big bag of the bedding they will need. It is going to be fun in a busy kind of way.
