A nice little story for you all. My first snake was a Sinaloan Milksnake, called Mirage, I've had her since day one, and she's always been my favourite for that reason alone. She's just coming up to 5 this year, and I managed to pair her up with a Striped Sinaloan last year who was only 18 months old (the male). So I was suprised he could even do the job. A month or two after, I never presumed she was gravid, as I couldn't feel anything, therefor I didn't leave a nest box in with her. Then one day when I was cleaning them out, there was a clutch of eggs under her hide, these could of been there 2-3 days before hand, so again, I didn't think anything would come of them. Saying that, I incubated them anyway, although one egg was going bad atleast one egg a week. Leaving me with one healthy-ish egg, with two badly rotten eggs stuck to it. And today, that egg hatched a lovely Sinaloan Milksnake, which will be a keeper, just because it is mirage's.
Here's the little one;
And here's the mother (Mirage);
Here's the pair together (male now sold);

That's it mate. I sold all the adult's before I could get any eggs from them. I would of had Pueblans, Hondurans (Albino, Anery, Hypo, Normals too). Hopefully have more next year.

| I think I'd like to try my hand at breeding in a couple years when I've more experience, and finished studying. The idea of waking up some morning to find a few baby Mexican Milks in the incubator appeals to me :) |
