The Snake Keeper Blog

Egg production is coming along here real strong right now. This morning was no exception. Six from one female and a dozen from another.

12 perfect eggs

Wow! Seeing 12 eggs from one clutch makes the six eggs look like a small clutch. Any ways that brings the total egg production up to 143 so far this season. Not bad for the end of April.

Most of the projects are coming along nicely this season. Next week the hatching cycle begins starting on the 5th. That is where the real fun begins. I love getting eggs but it is even better watching them hatch. Waiting for that first clutch of the season to pip is the longest wait. I had some one email me the other day saying the next 60 days were going to kill him waiting for his Mojave eggs to hatch. It is true it seems like a long time. But after you get past the first clutch then they just keep coming.

We are just excited that this season we will have a good number of morphs for the major shows. Usually we really do not have too many before Summers end but this year is the exception.

The BallCam is back on line and we will be featuring clutches hatching as often as we can. We may even try to show a few snake laying eggs as well. Right now the camera is just showing the room so you can test it now to see if it is working for you. It is not set level but you will see if you have a good feed or not.
Well that about wraps it up for now.

The season is really off to a great start here now. I may have more to write about as things progress. It would seem that we are going to have an early season this year which is real nice as so many times we never have anything to bring to the Daytona show. This year though it actually looks like we will have some nice animals out to bring for sale. Now if the weather just cooperates enough so we can get them there we will have it made. We are really looking forward to what this season will bring us. I do not want to give away too much but we should see some new crosses that will really be nice.

Daylight savings time is here and I could not be happier. That is the signal for the cold weather to leave and bring on the warm weather. It also means eggs are on the way. I just updated part of the for sale page and took some new pics for some of the snakes that were not in the shed right now. Seems every time I go to take pics some for them are in the shed. We are also working on getting the BallCam up and running. Had some IP address changes this past year and now all that has to be re-configured.

So that is about all for now. I want to take a few pics and show you some things soon but that will have to wait for a week or so. I hope to be posting a potential offspring list soon. If you know you want something let us know and we will get you on the list.
