I'm an info nut, I want as much at my disposal as possible. Not only the same old info but conflicting info as well i.e. there isn't always one way to do something etc... To my point, I have all the literature I could find (printed) as well as what I could get on the net and its not a whole lot in regards to both. So I'm gonna ask you guys who have been keeping and breeding Gaigeae. Ive kept an adult pair of Gaigeae before in the 90's but I only had them for 6 months or so and I was told to keep em cool and good luck. I did breed them and they did lay eggs (for Dennis Mountain that is as I sent him a gravid female unknown to me grrrr..lol). Onto my questions and I really hope you guys give up some good basic info.
1. TEMPS, what range or gradient is best for these animals? Ive head keep em cooler and also keep like any other Colubrid.
2. SUBSTRATE, What works best ? I'm using aspen bedding but I normally use newspaper for my other snakes.
3. HUMIDITY, Whats the ideal % of humidity ? They come from wet Cloud Forests so I would imaging high humidity is what they prefer.
4. FEEDING, Whats a good schedule ? Ive heard they have a tendency to get fat. Is this true and is it more related to usable temps than feeding schedule ?
5. HISTORY, Any locale info on the San Antonio line or the Florida Zoo line ?
6. BRUMATION, Is it needed for this sub ? If so whats cool enough ? Any info to the seasonable temps of their native origin?
7. LINES(Stock), Whats the difference between San Antonio Zoo and Florida Zoo stocks if any ?
8. MISC, Any pics of Florida Zoo stock adults around ? Whats your largest Gaigeae in your collection and how old is it ?
Thanks in advance !
