 Croc eggs and snake

My female croc is at it again and this egg has me thinking maybe my new female I bought is really a small male. Its snout is starting to yellow which is some say is a male characteristic.
This eggs was on the surface but looks pretty decent and is nicely shelled. She appeared to be laying the rest when I checked on tonight. Looks to be about a foot or more into the ground so maybe I will get lucky.


croc egg vs ackie


p.s if anyone knows anything about corn snakes could you please tell me what a starburst breed to a caramel butter het bloodred might produce. Had 15 of those also today

Two more where in her hole this morning. They were a little chilly so I grabbed them up. Hope it doesn’t bother her to much. She didn’t nest in the best of places but hasn’t in tue past for that matter.

Might be a good egg, even if poorly nested. Good luck incubating, Dustin.

 Croc eggs and snake

I have had worst shaped ackie eggs almost go the distance so im hopeful. The other two are not quite as nice as this one but all are oval and shelled nicely so who knows. Her timing I horrible lol. Last year I was fighting a cold spell and this year I just moved and don’t have the cage up to par yet. I got 32 inches of dirt piled up with a heat mat to keep stable temps but she choose a mulch pile near the lights. She looks really good though and hasn’t lost much weight. I have been worried since her prolaspe but looks like she is back on track. This is her 3rd time that I know of to lay eggs so maybe I will get more chances to get this ironed out and perfected. Hope my tristis goes the distance in a few days. It will be a
packed incubator then :)

Vincent!! I was hoping you were lurking around. I have three looking good and three that look like crap after one night in incubator. She is doing great and in good weight for dropping 6 eggs.
I remember seeing your crocs mating but missed the follow up. What was the outcome?

Not any pics of the new enclosure yet but it’s the same as the old setup almost. Once it’s back to par then I’ll get new pics.

Hey Dustin, I really hope those eggs hatch for you! That would be awesome. I am currently waiting on my female to lay. She is HUGE, Looks like a football with legs. I also am hoping that my second female will mate with my male as well. Hope all is well.


cheers,


Vincent Fricano

LOL. I hope yours lay some nice clutches. They would be 2nd generation captive born correct? Yours are from reptile rangers if I remember correctly.
On the subject of crocs. Do you still have that picture of a monster sized croc monitor someone brought to prehistoric pets years ago? I think the guy in it had a beard.

One came from reptile ranger and the other D&J I believe but yes they bother are US captives. Haha no I don’t have that picture, I don’t think I have ever seen that picture? Yes, I hope she lays a very nice clutch. She is a balloon right now.



Cheers,
