I know a few of you all on here were expecting clutches, how are they coming along? Hope they are all doing well!

I missjudged the sheding time on my female, and she finally shed 35 days ago. I had given up, even though the vet reconfirmed her pregnancy. Yesterday I cleaned out her cage (she's almost 30lbs), and I was letting her crawl back with the support of my left hand, while feeling her underneath with my right hand. About 3 feet from the end, I felt a number of large, pretty solid lumps, so I'm still hoping. There is no food in her, but she hasn't gone into any odd positions, or basking much more than normal. Barkers book on pythons of OZ says 35.8 days as the average from pre-egg laying shed to laying, so.... Keeping fingers and toes crossed.

I seen em posted earlier, they look awesome. Its just a matter of getting my parents to take care of them.

Trying to talk to them about caring for them now, would only be for a couple more months, right now im stationed overseas in the Marine Corps so that makes getting new animals pretty difficult, im working on it though.

That's pretty cheap for 05s. Less than I'd part with babies for....

I think right around $500 is common for Olive babies...

I think, when you can find them, that females will be quite a bit more than males.
