Nice work Jim! Seems like your vaillanti just hatched out, not coxi eggs! Good for you. Can't answer your questions though as I have yet to produce the species.

Three porphyraceus species in one year? Sounds like you are doing great. Do you have any weights on your females before breeding?

I don’t weigh any of my snakes I just feed them a normal amount and breed them when they are ready.
I have never had a egg bound snake so it must be working ok. Thanks.

Congrats Jim. Looks like your on your way to a porphyracea grand slam. A clutch of 6 is a fairly good size clutch from them. Randy W.

Congrates! The whole porphyraceus group are awesome. Can't wait to see the babies and the other eggs.
