Thanks for the posts so far. She was bred once - late April. I keep all our snakes solitary and therfore, that was the only mating she had this year. Her first (ever) clutch was not without complications - she laid five in a four hour period (one went bad during icubation) but was egg bound w/one and two others behind trapped. After 60 hours, the egg was aspirated and passed within 40 hours with the other two passing easily, but in poor shape.
She has been fine all summer/fall but a bit slow in weigth gain after her egg bind ordeal. She is now back to her bred weight and like I said, eating like she is starved, even though her feedings are at 5/6 days and pudgy behind her gut. Again, I realize corns all have their own quirks, but what is some of the longer periods between 1st and 2nd clutches you have experienced??
Thanks again for any input.
