Ball eggs, what is your largest clutch?

Dave

Mine is 11.

Mines 9

10, but the female who provides them does it consistently year after year.

As far as the shed goes, if it is a complete shed, I take it out, if she has an incomplete shed, or sheds in several pieces, I take out what I can without bothering her, and take out the rest when it comes off, or when she moves off of pieces of shed that she was laying on. I try to bother the females as little as possible when gravid. No comment on only having a half filled water dish? No comment on using newpaper as substrate?

Dave

paper is fine

water half full,full,whatever....as long as it's clean

I just bother my snakes is all........

do as you wish......

(I make comments.....I don't know who you people are nor look, nor care....I just open my mouth ......don't take it too personally.......?..).

have fun.......good luck.......

You're " perfectly right " in your post as to alluding to the fact of either take you or not : LOL ! So, when did you make that transition from corn snake to Ball Pythons ? Just a inquiring mind here.

I may be old , cantankerous, crabby, and cynical, but......

........ummm.....I have been breeding balls for 10 years now more or less........?

corn baby average $15.........ball baby $30 to $2000 ......you know........

........still have corns......have balls......getting alot of odd stuff........and still hate snakes.......maybe.....?

.......
