Sperm Retention??? It happend!

ballmorphsbymike Sep 07, 2008 05:11 PM

I decided to go check on the snakes today to see if cages needed to be cleaned and to my surprise...6 eggs from a female that hasn't seen a male in over 12 months. Maybe for a day or two last year i put a male pastel and a male spider with her. Well 4 were clearly not fertile but there is hope for the other 2...i will post pics in a bit to get your thoughts. I heard females could do this...just never happened to me before. I have the other 2 set up and ready in the incubator. we will have to wait and see.....Mike
