Totally agreed, by giving them a month (or at least some time) off between litters they drop more in each litter.
The tubs in my racks are 11" x 17" at the floor. I can get 1.3 in one tub for breeding. By cycling weekly, no female stays in longer than three weeks. With a 23-24 minimal gestation, they come out on Wednesday and the weekend is busy with birthing. I give each mom their own tub for birthing, then combine two moms and 24 babies in a single tub to raise them. As some disappear - hungry snakes, I combine further still keeping two moms and 24 babies per tub. Surplus moms go back into the cycle on the next Wednesday.
LOL, you must be talking about Annie, a Burm I had 17 years ago.
