Girls gonna go after 5 years

zefdin May 24, 2008 02:05 AM

I have this girl that I have been trying to get to lay eggs for 4-5 years & she has just had her pre-lay shed and it looks like she has 4-6 eggs inside her (fingers crossed). I bred her to my 100 % het Pied male and I am pretty excited to see her lay out after all this time.

She was a long, long term pet and I believe she is fairly old. She is a gentle and graceful lady and I am very happy she now feels comfortable enough to relax and lay her eggs here.

Thanks for looking.

Good news! I admire you for your patience . . . many others would have sold her by now even though she is a gentle girl.

I was one of those guys that was going to get rid of a certain female if she didn't produce this year (well at least I said I was but I doubt if I could). I've had her for 9 years and she has yet to produce. Well I put her with my breeding machine pastel male since he wasn't going to get any other females and he went to town on her and she just laid her clutch yesterday. I was a little disappointed in the size of the clutch since she was so old and big at almost 3000g. The clutch was only 6 eggs but are the biggest ball python eggs I've ever seen. The largest weighed in at 162g and the smallest was 148g. The one thing I can guarantee is that these will be some very healthy sized babies. The lesson is, threaten the females that you will sell them and they will produce for you, lol.
