Hello!
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.

What is wrong with my snakes eggs?
I have some problems with some of my corn snake clutches and was wondering if someone could help.
This is what happened leading up to the problem.
1) first the females would not 'sit' on their eggs.
2) second the eggs would be fine in the incubator for the first month.
3) third all but two eggs would die after one month in the incubator.
4) one of the remaning eggs would die 15-10 before the hatch date.
5) the last egg would either be extremely under size, or live on to be very helthy.
The clutch sizes where 7-15 eggs.
Has this happened to anyone before? Does some one know what went wrong?
Thanks!~Brooke

Likely causes, for failing eggs, are as follows:
1. Incubation temps were incorrect (i.e. too hot).
2. Not enough humidity during the entire course of incubation.
3. Incubation substrate too wet &/or too much condensation forming, on tub lid, then dripping on eggs.
4. Incubation substrate containing chemicals.
5. Complete, total/absolute, lack of any oxygen for entire incubation period.
6. The eggs, that went bad, were infertile.

Brooke, could you post a pic of your incubating set-up?

Pasodama nailed all of that. Your incubation methods have to be dialed in perfect. I would recommend just copying a successful breeder, if there's no info and it's a speciality animal, I bet you could email someone who's had them and bred them and ask.

Also temps should be constant the whole time, and the higher the temps the more problems you'll run into. For example people breed leopard geckos at higher temps to produce males I'm pretty sure, and that produces a lot of problems incubating the eggs and also resulting in deformities sometimes since a shift in high temperatures could be super detrimental.
