"Worms" all over

[Soe]

Hi
Yes I was at Snakeday and Hamm also actually. You probably didn`t see them among all the ratsnakes I do prefer Snakeday though even I also have quite a few lizards breeding. Hamm is all too hot in September. 49*C was messured on a table there. I had to cool some of mine with water and removing them from the table.

I bet 44 babies could be "a bit" overwhelming

It is, but I raise them in groups of about 10, and I actually don`t have many problems. Seperating in size is mandatory though to prevent too much canibalism. Raising seperately would be the best, but takes a lot of time with more than hundred babies at a time. I still do that with juveniles where I only have a few or when needed to enlarge my collection.

I think the "small" female will deliver about 25 - 30 but let us see. She is still eating a lot even big fish, so I don`t thing that she will give birth soon

Best wishes
Søe

When you come to Houten - Snake Day in 2007 we maybe will meet. I go there every year.
Maybe we can organize a "meeting" there in 2007 for the European forum-members.

Your babies look very nice , Soe. I hope they're doing fine.

Fons, I think a "meeting" is a great idea !!!
