Well I have had 5 batches of wrigglers from my golden snakeskins and each time they get to free swimming the parents eat them and then lay again within 24 hours. This time I though they might make it as the babies actually found mum and dad side and were feeding, but bugger me went outside a couple of hours later and they were both eating them and cleaning the breeding cone again. I have tried to take dad out but mum still eats them.

They are very attentive to the babies when they first hatch but as time goes by they seem to lose interest and want to breed again. This time I will take the cone out as soon as the babies are free swimming, but maybe they are just bad breeders?
