I currently have 3 good eggs in the 'bator from my wc adults that I've had for over a year now. This is my first clutch (4 slugs as well) and I hope it won't be the last. I have 3.3 and lost one male to an upper resp. infection just a month ago. He was the "father" of the clutch and I'm hoping the other male and the new replacement male I recently acquired will come on soon.
Goynosomas, at least in my humble opinion, take an enormous amount of care at first then settle into predictable patterns. They all tame down remarkably well although they'll never be confused as a Corn Snake by any means. I keep mine in arboreal set-ups fine tuned over the months to a point where I feel they're "stable". With tempermental snakes as these one is prone to micromanage every and all aspect of their environment/care but once treated and acclimated correctly they're best left alone - I even go so far as to cover their cage w/a towel when attending to other snakes so as to minimize unneccesary disruptions.
Through trial and error I've gathered a bit of knowledge as to acclimating them. Drop me a line if you want to venture into wc specimens. Bill
