Went into my snake room last night to chsck on everyone and found my 2000 het coral albino female had passed away. I know we all assume the risks of breeding and I for one had never lost a gravid female. Guess I can't say that anymore. Everything was going fine, she had been bred by a male het coral albino possible jungle. Saw the pre ovulation swell, followed shortly by the male losing interest. She looked gravid with the lower half of her body having that swollen gravid look. Only oddity was she never had her POS.

Really sucks, in one fell swoop I loose my largest breeder, possibility of coral albino babies and maybe proving out one of my possible jungles this year.
