Hi Gregg,

Remember, the ideas you are putting forth are going against about 40 years of entrenched herp dogma. Up until recently, folks tossed eggs that were layed without vascularization. You are probably like me and came to this reality from experience with turtles and lizards first. However, what you and Frank are describing is entirely foreign to most snake only keepers. Anyway, I completely agree with you: the earlier eggs are deposited, the less stress the female endures, which not only results in greater longevity for her, but stronger babies.

Thanks.

Will
