Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

All I did this year was 2 pairs of corns all but one of them were given to me by friends or coworkers who didn't want them anymore. This yr was a appetizer as most of my colony is youngsters and some subadults since I've only been back in the game a couple yrs. Next year I'll hav several kings maybe even my northern pines but my female is only 2 and a little shy of 5' so we will see how the summer goes but she's growing fast! Anyway my male okeetee and female hypo and I got 14 on 5/19 all of them looking good halfway through! Then I got my male amel Miami (almost clean enuff to call candy cane) and female sunglow motley (the only one of that group I paid for) and the blessed me with 8 on 5/31 also looking good! If all goes well I'm expecting most if not all to hatch I can't see some inside the clumps too well but what I do see looks promising

We are kind of in the same boat, we bought most of our future breeders as babies and they are just now getting up to size, though a goodly number of the girls still won't be ready until next year.

Yep pretty much haha! I used to breed corns and kings and then.... Anyway got my life back to a better path and I started looking for some animals again and I never really intended on getting more than a few pairs of corns cuz I wanna do more pituophis and king projects so at the moment I don't have much more space but I can't stand to see a animal without a home and I won't let just anyone take the snakes so I can get back on track but I love the corns too so it may take a while and I do have sum nice pits n kings but even the babies I sell I want the best possible life for so I'm happy even if I don't have what I want. Its nice tho cuz I have alotta different corns and the possibility of what I can produce with them is pretty cool too. They will always be some of my favorites so if I'm happy with what I have too. Going through your thread really renewed my enthusiasm for the corns I have I love phantoms and I'm just a few weeks from my hatch too. Time is going painful slow tho I'm excited to see what pops out and these are my first eggs in YEARS

All of them have been offered food at least once now. Most have eaten twice. And there were 3 that refused their first meal but one of those just ate a boiled pink.

Awesome! Congrats Amanda! When you start them do u try live or do you start with thawed right away? Reason I ask is I usually can get my corns started on f/t. I get more to eat on the first try with Florida kings and California kings are usually great feeders but the cal kings usually start live. I have the most frozen luck with corns. I guess if I factor in pituophis tho they've been the all time best getting started but pretty much all of the colubrids I've worked with either my own or helping friends of mine getting started they usually are happy with thawed after just a few tries

These all started on F/T. The one that refused the first attempt and ate on the second attempt today took an F/T that had been briefly dipped in boiling water until it was white and rubbery, then served very warm. That's a trick that I've been hearing great things about from a large number of corn breeders for the last few years. I also tried that today with one of the others that refused but it had not eaten the last time I checked on it. The nice thing about boiled pinkies, if you leave them overnight in with the hatchling and it doesn't eat it, they are a lot less disgusting to clean up in the morning.
My previous litter of Rosy boas, all except one, required at least one live pink to get started and one never would switch from live to F/T for me. The boiled trick didn't work with them.
