Sorry I screwed up that first copy and paste
I will try again!!
Here's a new born litter of Candoia carinata paulsoni. It's been a couple years since I had a litter, but here we go again... Shoestring time..
I've been breeding this species for about 20 years.. These are F3 or F4, I've lost track but the adults were produced by me, from ones produced here, and so on.
This is a very young female that produced this litter... She is pictured here in the "cage" she was raised in, which is only a shoebox Rubbermaid, as a size indicator, the water bowl is a Dollarama ramakin bowl, the 2 for a buck size.
Some of the babies have cool patterns.
There were 16 babies, one slug.. One baby is kinked but there are 15 good ones.
I have loads of experience raising this species.. You don't even try to feed them on their own till xmas. Babies eat jumping frogs in the wild, and that is
pretty hard to emulate in captivity, so I don't bother even trying.
They go straight on the pinky pump, with Fancy Feast beef and liver cat food. I've been doing it that way for years. (pinkies are too valuable.. need them for my rubber boas)
Most will be eating pinkies by the spring after their second or third shed.
