and had them produce viable clutches in the first season upon entering the US

n/p

Let me start by saying that this is the exception, not the rule....I purchased a gravid import 3 years ago. She went on to lay 9 eggs, only 4 of which hatched. I spent the next year getting her acclimated and feeding. I got her to take rats regularly, and now even takes FT off of tongs. I successfully bred her last year to one of her sons, she had 7 eggs, all of which hatched. She can still be a bit nasty every once in a while, but eats great and appears ready to breed again.

Thanks,

I bred 3 last year, FRESH imports and one laid 6 eggs, all hatched. Big healthy babies.

This year(after lots of cash on African rats, medicine for worming them, time and effort) i have about 30 or so ready to go. Out of which 18 have already locked up, some a couple times. Now granted locking up and actually producing a clutch are 2 different things, but time will tell.

IF I HAD IT TO DO OVER..........CBB sub adults......since i was trying to get a jump on things. I have about 50 CH 2006 babies and those things eat like dogs!! They will come get the food from me! haha love em
