Breeding rough earth snakes
This morning I discovered that my female Rough earth snake had given birth to 4 healthy babies! She was wild caught in april. And bred to a wild caught male in may. Shes been living in an enclosure that's set up like the enviornment we found them. I had been suspecting she was pregnant, and this morning it was confirmed when I found a yolks sack and later 4 live babies. All are doing well, there are 2 boys and 2 girls based on the vent to tip length. Mama is skinny but energetic and clean. Does anyone have any advice on caring for the babies? We've released 1 girl and 1 boy and I want to hold the other 2 for now. Being able to see their growth rate and everything will be super cool.
