what snakes is it that your breeding???
generally...
yes in the incubator straight away. if she wont let you near then u jst have to be brave and get bitten unfortunately. try not to keep them in pairs but it sholdnt hurt, as long as they are all fed seperate and have enough hiding places to get away from eachother. i wouldnt handle a baby snake until its about 8 weeks old just so its had time to settle down and sort itself out before any stress is added to life
offer food a day after they have had their first shed. that should happen within about a week, maybe less maybe more depending on what snakes they are.

if you tell me what snakes they are i can be abit more specific about things haha

but you say they would be ok in pairs but to seperate them for feeding that means they would have to be handled and then how are you ment to clean them out if you cant handle them
