Hello, I know your message was posted some time ago; however, I'm completing my masters thesis in biology which in part has specifically dealt with the incubation and growth rates of scheltopusiks. It should be available in publication soon from Buffalo State College in Buffalo, Ny 14222 USA. If you still need any info regarding how to rear these little buggers, drop me an email
