Thank you much. This is just the tip of the iceburg. I didn't want to get too carried away here, but I have been promising pictures of these girls for a long time and since I was taking the time to post one picture in the retic forum, I thought I might as well also post some here.
Burmese are very prolific. I don't push the females to breed. They kind of choose when they want to breed and I concede. These particular 1.5 yo females were going to be held back until next Oct-Dec but then they went off of food. To me this is an indication that their bodies are going into breeding mode and that they want to breed. So when they go off of food I will give them a male. Sure enough, each and every time they have gone off of food they accept the breeding attempts of the male and ovulate. I don't do this with smaller retics,... but then,. I have yet to have a smaller, younger female tic (9'-11') go off of food like that, lol.
>>I'm glad your breeding season went very well. It's nice to see pictures of some of your snakes Isn't 1.5 yrs for a female awfully young?? How many female burms breed successfully at that age?
>>Burms are nice, but lets see those retics! How are those supers coming along?? Hope the hatching goes as well as the breeding. Have a good one!
