An unexpected surprise !!

jimfmcdonald Apr 18, 2007 09:11 PM

Though I did see these two lock up a month ago I was not sure that she became gravid so a few days after her last shed I put her back in with the male and the next morning I got this great surprise.. Not only were there 7 good eggs but they were locked up again as well. I don’t think I will be questioning his fertility again this time! This will be the second female he has produced eggs with in the past 4 months. The first female did not double clutch but this one just might surprise me yet again. Thanks.

Jim

out of 8 babies 2 of them fed on f/t (unscented) pinkies from the start. about 4 of them would only feed on pinkies with a little toed scenting. the other 2 would not feed on anything unless i held the snake and put the pinkie up to its nose.
