Easy Breeders

[brownsfan222]

Does any one know about any hardy livebearing colubrids that get over 4 feet, and that are fairly common. I like colubrids now (used to be into boids) they are more active and cheaper to feed.

Whats wrong with eggs?

[brownsfan222]

not sure how to imbucate them, i dont have a problem but i just think it would be easier, any suggestions eggs are fine but i would rather have live bearing

[brownsfan222]

North american,
Watersnakes, garter snakes (and relatives), and........ I cant think of any others, but only watersnakes get over 4ft with any regularity (diamond backs and browns get pretty big, but most of the others hover in the 2-3ft range on average).

Egg layers are not any more difficult really, it just requires some finesse and some extra equipment to incubate the eggs.

Try a cal king or a corn snake, those are very easy to breed.
Most rat snakes are as well.

	Corn Snake The Corn Snake or Red Rat Snake (Elaphe guttata) is a species of Rat Snake.

i used to have a snow corn and a regular corn about a year ago, both were around 3 feet they were awesome snakes and i was planning to breed them but i got so busy i sold them to one of my friends in florida, the last i heard the snow was around 5 feet and the regular corn was filed with eggs.

i think i will probably go with corns because my local petshop breeds them hisself, he has i think 3 or 4 different morphs i like the snows and albinos but normals are pretty cool too, idk yet. I do like water snakes but they can be agressive sometimes

	Morph A morph is a color or pattern variation that is proven to be genetic. Common morphs include albino, anerythristic, gentically striped, Hypomelanistic, and many others. Morphs also include combinations of simple traits such as "Sunglow" which is Albino and Hypomelanistic. These traits may be recessive traits, co-dominant traits, dominant traits, or created through selective breeding (ie Pastel).
