Unsuccesfull breeding season

So 2018 was not a good breeding year at exotic reptiles.  Most of our corn snake eggs came out infertile and the few that were fertile never made it to hatching.  Bad planning from our side is the biggest blame here as we ended up with only 2 males before breeding season and unfortunately the one male passed away during hibernation and we were left with one male and clearly his sperm count was not up to parr.

Valuable lesson learnt but thankfully we are procuring a new batch of snakes this weekend and all our non breeders will be ready to breed this coming season so expecting a great 2019 breeding season.

Luckily the Crested gecko project we started last year has been very successful but only having one breeding female also slowed down the breeding.
She has been laying steadily and has given me 4 great clutches of healthy eggs of which 2 clutches have already hatched and expecting her to lay more before the season is over.

This project will take a time to get to full steam but we already have her one hatchling from last season which is now getting nice and big and turned out to be a female so she will be joining one of the younger males to start a new colony.

Here is hoping for a better season this year and great new morphs to come.
