Snake Pimp

21/04/2026

As many of you know, this is my first breeding season… and wow, it’s been a ride.

Juno gave me 8 beautiful eggs to start with. Sadly, 2 went bad very quickly, and while I was away over Easter, I lost 3 more. Io’s clutch didn’t make it at all. Safe to say, it’s been pretty disheartening at times.

When you lose eggs—especially in your first season—it’s so easy to spiral. You start questioning everything… wondering if you’ve done something wrong… worrying the rest won’t make it either.

But yesterday changed everything.

On my weekly check, I candled the remaining eggs (all looking great, by the way)… and I saw movement. Tiny little wiggles inside the egg. Life. 🥹

That one moment completely shifted how I’m feeling. The doubt? Gone. Replaced with pure excitement and hope.

We’re now 34 days into incubation—just over halfway—and I’m rooting so hard for these little ones.

Pairing: het Lucy, 66% het albino × same.

I’ve had a hell of a day!

Spent most of it at a body reprogramming group course for my fibromyalgia. It was the first day and all the awkward “I’m Nicole, I have a lot of snakes” introductions— people seemed to think this was very cool btw- the spiders did NOT get the same positive reaction 🫣

Despite having a podcast, public speaking will never come naturally to me.

Came home and noticed Juno’s RUB was a hell of a mess, so I had a peek and look what was in the lay box!!!!

12 total, 4 slugs, 4 which are questionable, and 4 corkers!

Well done Juno, you get a treat later my clever mumma!

Io is around a week behind Juno, and I’m waiting for her pre-lay shed currently.

How blinkin’ exciting!! 🐍🥚💚

**Edit**
Due to a c*ck-up on my part, I think this may have actually been an ovulation shed! WHOOPS! The brain fog was strong with this one.

Still waiting on that shed, but due any time now! Look how chunky Juno is! 😍🥰 got some great spreadage going on there, Miss Lady!

I do be raising some jumping spiders for later pimping, in case I hadn’t mentioned! 💜🕷️

Out with the old exoskeleton and in with the Snow White outfit!

Sayuri always had the wow factor but now she is blowing my mind 🤯

Soooo Juno has gone into blue.

Pre-lay shed incoming!
🥺💚🥰

I’ve just come back from my jollies to find Juno looking significantly chunkier than when I left her! Io is also a little bigger (not such a dramatic increase though). Exciting times ahead, folks! I might be first timer but I’m quietly confident 🐍🥚

Caramel boyo looks edible.

He is not.

My teeny boy Bandit.

Pumpkin is seasonal decoration, just not for this season.

Must be Tuesday.

Nah I’m kidding, this should last a short while!

Love it when the freezer is full, makes me feel very relaxed 😮‍💨
