DonnaM Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I was surprised to discover a snake neck egg in a tank this morning. I'm led to believe my snakenecks are all about 3-5 yrs old and the girl in the tank about 4-5 yrs. Is that too young to expect its possibly fertile? I have a book on them, and talks all about egg laying, breeding etc but not their age for breeding? Any ideas? At least I know "Hudini" is definately a girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 i just read on the net that to breed they should be hibernated first but wait till there at least 3yrs old or shell size 5-8cm i have never owned one myself just surfing the web Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 your right chilli from 3 years onwards depending it seems on size and how well fed the eggs are taking longer to hatch this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaM Posted January 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Thanks for that. So it may well be fertile! Is quite small...and I keep looking for more, but only the one so far...well its in alanmins incubator so we'll see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
