Black Spitting Cobra (Naja nigricincta woodi) breeding project

[@SLAYER-dz7vb]

Thank you for spending the time (and focus) on putting such valuable info out here for people to soak up and put to use. Nice and easy to take in because it wasn't crammed full of big words all in single sentences. Nicely done!

[@reptilegarden]

It is a pleasure and glad you enjoy the channel. I probably won't ever get massive subs but I am already happy with the following. This channel is for the most part to be educational and helpful to reptile keepers.

[@Lennox1492]

So pretty! They look like perfectly smooth black as night! Almost like a plastic patent leather! Gorgeous

[@BryceBroom]

Congratulations this is so exciting and a huge accomplishment!! Well done!! I love how you shared the whole process, I watched it all! So much incredible information!!

[@reptilegarden]

Thanks bud, yeah I am trying to cover everything. Really made for an interesting video just a bit long for most I would think.

[@BryceBroom]

Reptile Garden well I watched the whole thing and didn’t get bored, I usually can watch other guys channels for like one minute before I click off

[@GettingSchwiftyy]

The babies spitting at each other is hilarious.

[@steveknight8046]

Congratulations on the successful clutch! They are beautiful looking baby spitters! So cute... but so deadly! :-)

Nice Channel

[@robroy8485]

Interesting video 👍🏻- do you think these guys could be seen in the Laingsberg area ?

[@reptilegarden]

It is a bit out of range I would think or bordering where some specimens have been found but not impossible. We also have some that catch lifts with cars from time to time.

[@stefanvanbreugel4411]

Reptile Garden amazing keep up the good work love it very usefull i am trying to breed these species as well

[@stevemadden310]

Do you do any cooling process before pairing them up

[@reptilegarden]

Hi Steve, Yes they do go through a cooling period although not as cool as I would like as my snake park has a lot of heating. I get them down to about 18 to 20 deg c at times. It is often not that low on most days.

[@stevemadden310]

@@reptilegarden thank you awesome video

[@steveknight8046]

Why is it a problem for the babies to come all the way out of the egg once it is cut? You mentioned something about absorbing the yoke. Are you able to elaborate please?

[@reptilegarden]

Yes, they have a yoke and they should stay in for a few more hours just like the others that have slit. They umbilical cord will then fall off. If they come out with the yoke it can get dirty and might cause some issues or they may not absorb all the yoke.

[@steveknight8046]

@@reptilegarden thank you for explaining that to me!

[@denpornoglademandjensen2252]

What do you do to make them breed? Cool them or is it enough just to put them together?

[@reptilegarden]

Very good question! Something I didn't cover all to well in the video. I did cool them for a good 2 to 3 months but my park only gets down to around 18 deg c due to all the other heating. The male stays at the bottom of the rack so he does get cooler to around the 18 deg c. They can go as low as 15 deg c.

[@denpornoglademandjensen2252]

Reptile Garden you done a great job. Would love if you did a Rinkhals update again soon.

[@reptilegarden]

@@denpornoglademandjensen2252 Unfortunately we just have one now.

[@denpornoglademandjensen2252]

Reptile Garden sorry to hear that! The other one passed away?

[@reptilegarden]

@@denpornoglademandjensen2252 unfortunately yes.

[@denpornoglademandjensen2252]

What is the name of the shoes you are wearing in the video?

[@reptilegarden]

Haha they are fake Saloman shoes. Bought online thinking it was a deal. Wore through them in 3 months. Haven't seen the legit ones with that colour but best buy the real deal.

[@denpornoglademandjensen2252]

Reptile Garden they look awesome!

[@reptilegarden]

Yeah but not anymore. LOL
