Just seeing how common it is....

My "Old Reliable" isn't very big but last year she produced for the 6th consecutive year with each clutch being as big as or bigger than the one before. She's been out on a breeding loan for 1.5 years but I hear she looks good for going again for a 7th consecutive time this year. Also, I don't think she has ever laid a bad egg but I'll have to get her records together to be sure. She even had twins her first year so may be a little over 100% hatch rate.

thanks Randy

Don't know. In my limited experience she stands out. Even her daughters haven't been quite that consistent. But we really haven't been breeding many captive ball pythons for all that many years. Presumably we might eventually select for the best captive breeding animals.
