I had 2 sets of twins a couple years ago the weights were 17, 17, 17 and 19. They all made it and than for some reason when the 19 grams one made it to 100 grams she died.

Hi all, just an update on my tiny little manā¦
Unfortunately he didnāt make it. He never took any meal on his own, but did eat through assist feeding. He reached 124g, and when I opened the tub, he had unfortunately passed away.
First snake I have ever lost, and not ashamed to say that I cried my heart out.
Thank you all for the messages and help, this truly is an amazing community.

Iām so sorry to hear that he didnāt make it. Not all of them are meant to be. Big hugs!
Iām glad that this little community is more open to talking about the not-so-pretty side of breeding. I think too many breeders hide it and make it seem like itās not a common issue as a breeder.
I unfortunately had to delete my own social media posts about my experiences because haters were using it as fuel to claim I wasnāt caring for my snakes properly š„²š
I had 2 hatchlings from separate clutches I produced last year suddenly pass away, even though they were eating on their own and otherwise acting normal.
They did both regurgitate their last meals right before they passed away, and one in particular was not a good eater to begin with, so I wonder if it was a digestive issue. All their clutch mates are healthy and thriving though!
Not to mention losing almost my entire very first clutch due to unknown reasons (suspecting it was caused by an incubator issue early on) ā luckily I had one boy survive and after months of assist feeding, heās thriving now!
Heās deformed, you can see his stubby head and the tiny kink in his spine by his tail. He also has a lot of split belly scales.
Since I have a CSerpents hotbox incubator now, I donāt think Iāll be having issues with incubation temperatures from now on.
I think I just need to get a VE-300 for my homemade incubator, so I can still use it in the future and if anything goes wrong itāll set off the alarms and fail safe mechanisms. I was using a VE-100 like a dummy.

How much is a small Cserpents hot box like there smallest one?
I got the smallest one, itās $550 plus $80 shipping, so $630 total. Should work fine for me for a few years at least, especially if I get my homemade incubator situated a bit better

So true, a lot of breeders donāt talk about the sad side of the hobby.
Like I said, I cried my eyes outā¦he wasnāt any special morph with a giant price tag attached. He was a special living snake, that I loved for the short time he was with me.
Thanks for all the messages of comfort, it is truly appreciated.
