I got my first clutch yesterday of greeri.I thought they were all slugs but it looks like there are a couple good ones.

couple mex mex getting close to laying also.

I know these aren't really mexicana but I think they belong here.
It looks like I have 5 or 6 gravid knobs.I also have 3 gravid ruthveni.

Nice photos and thanks for sharing.

Do you keep your male in with the females for the entire breeding season or did you take photos after a reintroduction?

Those are awesome Shannon. I love that dark female greeri, the light knoblochi in the first knob pic and the last pair of knobs in the last pic. The high band count is really cool on those.

Hey John, yeah I can't count my chickens beofre they hatch but I have a ton of gravid snakes already and tons more breeding up a storm.I should clear about 60 clucthes.
I probably will double clutch another 10-15 so maybe 70 or so clutches when all is said and done.I am think probably in the 500 range on hatchlings this year.
I will need some help for sure.LOL....
