OK…. with slugs… how detrimental is it to remove them?
I just got the courage to remove my super feisty (coastal) girl (and that is on a good day) from her first ever clutch to remove any slugs.
As her first time I thought I would let her be a mummy and maternally incubate them. And I didn’t really want to disturb her so let her be.
When I had a second peek today I noticed some slugs so tonight when I finally got home we got in and remove them.
I thought there was a couple but ended up removing 8 all up :cry: but to my horror found one in the middle of the cluster.. the other eggs wouldn’t budge so left if there. I am now stressed that it might spoil the others… is this the case?

Please don’t flame me as I have been a nervous wreck throughout this entire process being so unsure of handling the breeding thing and no matter how much reading and asking people, I still feel inadequate of dealing with breeding business... URGH I am so not having real kids. lol

Don,t panic , only remove the slug if it looks like you will get fungus growing over the healthy eggs ( only ususaly happens whens theres to much water) if its hard to remove, use an anti fungus powder on it , snake eggs are eayer to care fo than people let on.


Enjoy your eggs!
