and maternal incubation has been catching on a lil more lately on 'that' forum.

I think the reason most don't do that is so they can have their females ready again within a few months for the next litter. Maternal incubation means about 2-3 months without food, and so many of these won't make it to breed again that season.

Thanks, Joe
