after a long long wait my female Texas Indigo finally dropped her eggs. Five good ones out of 10 total. This was her first time breeding.

Congratulations,keep us informed of progress. Others obviously infertile? Any theories on why? Good luck with your 5, the world needs more Drymarchon...what excitement (and anxiety) for the next 110 days or so...

The other 5 were about 1/3 the size and obvious slugs. Not sure why, but it was both his and her first time. I was just happy to get any good eggs. Now the long wait begins...

How long ago did she shed? My female shed a couple of days ago so it shouldn't be too long now.
I hope you get 5 beauties out of the good eggs.

Paul,
Good luck with the eggs. If you ever need anyone to babysit
the little ones after they hatch, let me know.
Thanks,
Ed
