In 2002, A friend of mine, Webb Tilton bought a normal female from Kingsnake. She was absolutely the biggest Ball Python that I had ever seen. She was around 6000grams at the time. He bought her for $250. She produced a nice clutch of 12 eggs for him that year. I had to have her, so I offered him $1000 for her. He accepted and I have had her ever since. She has laid a nice clutch for me every year. The smallest clutch she has ever laid was 13 eggs and she has never laid a slug. I guess because she eats retired breeder jumbo rats, she always has enough weight to produce every year. I looked up my records and she has laid 119 eggs for me since 2003.

Going into this breeding season she weighed in at just over 8100grams. This year she laid 17/0. I've had some small retic clutches that size.





I have kept every girl from her for the last few years. They are all unusual because they want to eat everything all of the time. None of them have ever had a fast. She obviously has something genetically special going on. They are super producers.

Here is one of her first daughters. This girl started the season at 4600grams and recently laid a clutch of 12 perfect eggs.
