Well todays the last day of vacation and I was lucky my girl laid today. I stayed up past midnight waiting for her to lay, but finally went to sleep. I woke up to her coiled around 6 big white eggs. I removed them and placed them in the incubator (a little disapointed) last time she layed 7. When I checked on her a few minutes later she was coiled around 3 more!!! I checked her and she's definately done now. Looks like she needs a few rat burgers though. She was bred to a pastel and mojo, hoping for all pastel females to hold back but we'll see. This is only my second ever clutch, and my first clutch this year. How long do you normally wait before you offer food to your female after egg deposit?

I soak my girls in water while I clean and disinfect their tub, put substrate in, and the I wipe the animal down with a clean towel. I offer food the next day and I never had one refuse it yet. That's my process.

Congrats on the eggs!!!! I hope you get what you want!

I usually change their substrate shortly after laying and then I offer food a few days later. Generally speaking, females who have just laid eggs are crazy feeders! Watch your hands

After washing the snake and her tub I wait 7 days after laying and then they ALWAYS take at least 2 medium rats sometimes more. Nice looking clutch
