Can anyone give me these? also temps for incubation?

Cheers Matt

Trutnau (2004) says that incubation temperature should be 26.7 - 27.8°C. Incubation period is (was) 60 days.

Thnaks for that Anze, anyone know the gestation period?

Hello,
now it´s going to be interesting
I´ve heard from a breeder ,who already breeds scutellatus canni ,that he incubate his eggs between 29,4 to 32,2 degress (85-90 F) ....
With good results ,perhabs .
A friend of mine who breeds different species ,since he got snakes (over 20years) meand that it would be good to slow down the temperature one or two weeks before the eggs normally hatch.
The benefit would be that the youngs that hatch be bigger and stronger ,acoord normal and with constant temperature breeded animals.
Can anyone approve this statement ?
In nature normally scutellatus leave her eggs until some days ,after laying.
So the eggs only incubate over the habitat temperature ,that is giving .
Where the animals normally lays the eggs in burrows or in a wide landscape without any weather cover ?
Regards,
Ralph

Hi Ralph,

Most snakes that will incubate their eggs will drop the temperature of the clutch a week or so before they hatch, with snakes that abandone the eggs this cannot happen unless the weather changes, I wouldn't think this would be a deciding factor with O.s.canni, thanks for the imput, dose your friend have a gestation period for O.s.canni

Cheers Matt

gestation is around 100 days or so.

at 90 f incubation is 60-70 days.

Hello,

By our experience is gestation period in cannies approx. 2 months. With breeding them over 10 times I think I can say it as general. Of course, it depends on many factors...

All the best,
Peter

Excellent, thank you guys,
Cheers
