Lol, well caught photos there Jelmer. How have you managed rearing the hatchlings?

Hello,
I guess with "rearing" you mean like getting them started? To be honest I have big problems incubating the eggs of this species. It seems like the egg-shell is to thick/hard. I have read an heard about this problems with incubating the eggs of Boiga species quite often. From the last clutch only one young hatched. It died a few days after shedding it's skin. Don't ask me why. The other 4 embryo's we're fully developed, but died in the egg. I didn't "rear" any hatchling of this species wich I have bred myself yet. The only way to get them started, in my opinion, is simply by forcefeeding...
Cheers,
Jelmer

yeah, Ive heard a lot about boigas being incubated successfully, only to die at full term in the egg - this happened to one of my nigraceps hatchlings.
