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

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

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

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.

best place for it

the same as doing red ears

the first egg can be small, but i have had them fertile
