Yesterday still was a great day.
From my samarensis I got 8 fine eggs (1 seems to be not ok).
The eggs looks different to each other. Some are not so long and roundish...other ones are longer/longish.
I was a little bit surprised that the eggs are so big. I think they are as big as mein Naja kaouthia eggs.



Does anyone know if somebody have breed this ones still in Germany?
At the moment I feel pretty lucky

Lets see when they will hatch.

you are man, you are!
congratulation, i will be grand dad again

i cross my fingers that everything will be fine, small tip besides, ill always incubated the N.samarensis eggs at 27,4°C with 0,5°C drop at night. the hatchlings hatched after 74 - 83 days, and the sex ratio was always balanced.

good luck!


Cheers
Mario

Congratulations, lucky man
I'm still waiting for my own clutch(es), no female seems to be gravid at this time.
My first samarensis eggs heve been laid on June 5th two years ago, so their's still time to hope.

Very interesting to see some of the samarensis-buyers killed their animals within a few weeks, whereas
others keep them alive and breed them.....
Good lucck for the time of incubation.
Cheers
Peter

Amazing news, congratulation!
I am looking forward to see pictures of hatched babies soon....

All the best,
Peter P.

looking great!! goodluck with the whole clutch

As I said on phone - I wish you all the best. I will visit you and your little spitters when they were born.

Congratulations Carsten!
I wish you luck with incubating!

'killed' their animals?

So after the first days the eggs look pretty good
I incubate them at a temperature of 27,5°C - 28,5°C

Just another Question. Does anyone know of (legal) captive born Naja samarensis in Germany. Or would that be the firstbreed in Germany?

Hi Carsten
As far as I know, Marios exports of Naja samarensis have been the first and only ones in a complete legal way.
I never heard about samarensis breedings in Germany, there's one person in Switzerland who bred them for a couple of times. His breeding adults must have left the Philippines illegallly, but they might be legal in Switzerland due to a stopover in some other country, I guess.
Cheers
Peter

First of all, there is only one "fellow" samarensis keeper here in Germany - unless Peter have sold some here in Germany.

So don´t worry. You must be the first.

Hi Carsten!

Congratulations and best wishes
Hope you can show us some little spitters in some weeks

Is it impertinent to ask for pictures of your adult samarensis?

Martina

Congrats Carsten!

Can I persuade you to post a pictures of the parent animals? Samarensis is definately one Naja species, you can't see too many times

So here are 2 pictures of my breeding pair.

handsome snakes,

i wonder where did you got them from...



nice to see them again, and nice to see them having a nice clutch of eggs. Terry at reptilegardens have also eggs from them. they got animals from us to...

i am happy to see, we gave the snakes in good hands! thanks guys..




cheers
Mario

Thanks Carsten! They are really nice!!!

Some new infos...or rather not many new information.

Today is Day 68 and still nothing hatched. Until one week ago I´ve incubated them on 27 1/2 - 29 degree without drop at night. After I´ve seen a little dent on an egg I put the incubation temperature a little bit down. Now it´s ~27 - 28.

The 6 eggs looks ok...and I hope that something will hatch soon. I´m wondering about the long incubation. The kaouthias hatched all the years after ~58 Days (Temperature 27,5-29 C).

dont you worry...

i had had 85 days already... be patient and wait!


cheers
Mario

85 Days...wow...thats long for cobras or not?
I just wonder a little bit about this long incubation. You incubated at a temp. of 27,4 C and 0,5 drop at night?

From all my incubated eggs (corn snakes, kaouthia´s, burmese python, cerastes) they hatched after round about 60 days. The temperature was always 27,5 - 29,0 degree...only the temperature for the burmese was higher (31 C).

Ok then I´ll have to wait and drink some tea

wow nice Naja samarensis, best wishes, looking forward to see the hatchlings

Be safe
-arcy

i incubate my naja samarensis eggs between 26,4 to 27,3°C, never stable always changing temp. i do not believe in stable temperatures. in nature, there is nothing like stable conditions.

Mario

I think drinking tea has been a good idea.

Today in the morning ( Day 70) I´ve seen the first head

So let´s wait some days and see how many will hatch.

Of course I´ll post some pics of the hatchlings.

Great! Gratuliere!

Superb!
Congratulations, that's absolutely great!
I'm looking forward to the pictures.


Cheers,
Harold

I am excited to see the babies,

Again Congrats!!!
