i have a female how has only a few weeks before giving birth (if thats the way its said). i dont know when she breed because they were both sexed as females. but there is a vast size difference between them.any how, she is big , restless and refusing to eat.but the question is how do i house the neonates,i want the best set up i can make to give them the best start i can.i have the boxes but its the heating im struggling with . if anybody could sent some ideas for me or even better pictures, that would be great, all i seem to do is ask questions i hope u dont mind,  thank u . |

| Some one correct me if I am wrong but I would use a heat tape strip with a rack setup for neonates. They like to stay hidden in the hide\moss so they don't climb much. |

| He is correct, that's the setup I have ready for mine. Just make sure the racks have low air exchange, Lilu, as otherwise you'll have humidity issues with the babies. |

| Next time I download photos. I took them already, but have had other distractions. If I'm lucky, this weekend; if not, next. |

| Sorry to hear that Lilu, but don't give up hope entirely -- these snakes can look non-gravid and then deliver a surprise. Mind, not likely -- but possible. |
