Have you ever thought of putting anti-fungal powder and mixing it with the perlite in order to reduce mold problems as a preventative measure? Just a thought.
He has before, but normally the anti-fungal powder does more good than bad if he uses it as a preventative instead of once the mold is already starting to grow. So he mostly waits for mold before powder
I just commented the same thing 😢 luckily Snake Discovery has recently said that research has discovered it's not as significant as we thought, though maybe still at least slightly problematic...
I believe it only matters after the baby snake develops slightly, which would be after laying them. By then, they're stuck together, and up has been determined. Then you just have to keep them oriented in the way they began to develop. Mom doesn't have to know, she (or a breeder of course) just needs to keep them in the right position.
It looked second egg you marked with the pen was rotated from its original position when you removed the mother snake. I could be wrong but better to be safe than sorry. Best of luck with this clutch!
Whats the most amout (of normal) eggs you've had at once? And how long have you been taking care of eggs, if you answer thank you! Hope all the eggs are ok and healthy when they hatch
they are usually there to help the other eggs survive if a nest raider comes in some snakes and other reptiles will lay them in different locations to heighten survivability by diverting the egg eaters towards a false nest.

With snake eggs if you don't place them so that the embryo is on top of the egg, it will drown. Usually it'll latch onto the top and by the time the care givers see them. you have to mark it and candle it so you know which the side the embryo is on.
@@user-jt1jd1oi9nthey don't, most snake species leave the eggs the moment they hatch. There are very few that stay with the eggs after hatching, and that's typically for a few weeks to a month, to make sure the hatchlings know everything they need to survive
The way that her tummy had little indents from where she’s been cuddling the eggs up; my heart. 🥰

the egg at the top flipped 😢
No it's just sideways which is still fine
Iirc it takes awhile for the baby to set its position so likely it’s fine

I think it turnd 90°. The second egg marked.
Children’s pythons are one of my favourites
Would definitely love to have one of these children's Pythons any tips and advice or any help with accurate upkeep and husbandry
I absolutely love Children's Pythons. Although my favorite is the Southern African Rock Python. Still a beautiful snake.
My favorite snake/reptile creator
I would love for you to adopt my 2 balls, I just can’t keep them 😢
i am sure you mean snakes but ehem i will say my 41 year old mine started saying "heh, heh, heh, they said balls"
How do mom snakes know which way up to position her eggs?

I noticed to
I don't think the eggs are old enough for the embryo to be attached to the egg yet but I could be wrong
what do you do to the slugs
My friend breeds snakes and my other one made me horrified XD, basically one of them ate a infertile egg in front of us
How big of an enclosure do you keep the adult children's pythons in?
Nice job
What would the snake normally do with infertile egg or moldy eggs?
I've always wonder. Do the moms ever get defensive when you are removing the eggs? They always seem so calm as a human takes away their eggs haha
With this species of snake most don’t. However, each snake does have its own personality. So I have come across a few that do.
@@Molinaro_Snake_Lab I see. Thanks for replying, love your videos

You tipped one of them sideways 😭
Hey I am a snake lover can you please tell me more about snakes pls
I post snake content just about everyday! So keep watching!
I'm the 1k like
🏆 1K out of the 8 billion people in the world is fantastic!
Is there a male snake involved? Might be dumb question, but idk much about snakes. Very interesting. ❤
Yes! I paired her a few times with a male!
@Molinaro_Snake_Lab thank you. Fascinating 😮
Is the mother ever protective and threatening to bite when you remove eggs?
Why put the slugs in the incubator?
Why do snakes lay slugs?
they are usually there to help the other eggs survive if a nest raider comes in some snakes and other reptiles will lay them in different locations to heighten survivability by diverting the egg eaters towards a false nest.
To add onto helema's statement, the slugs are also eggs that simply just didn't get fertilized
Genuine question; why don't you leave the eggs with the mums? Just curious
Incubators have a much higher success rate than natural egg rearing. Incubators ensure perfect temperature, humidity, etc. Bird ranchers do this too!

If it’s a childrens python why do you have it? You’re very clearly an adult.
Why do you choose to incubate the slugs?
He prefers to incubate until there's absolutely no chance
he took it out in the end, he just wanted to show it being candled
@@xyzsophi he keeps them in the box for serveral follow-up videos
Those squares are dangerous
So, did you make an omelet. Not joking, don't waste her efforts.

why do you need to mark the eggs?
I think so you know what side is facing up

@@JKoo-ph4cd That's interesting, thank you 😊
Do the mothers mind when you take the eggs? I was surprised at how they wrap themselves around them.

Why can't she take care of her own eggs ?
Its less stressful for her because she stops eating when she lays eggs. And she doesn't form any bond with the eggs
