Another success story

bbox Jun 22, 2009 01:21 AM

Here is my wc 1997 Limpia Canyon female laying eggs. I thought that I would never get any good eggs from her. She was egg-bound two different years and I did not put a male on her for a few years after that. Last year I tried again and I ended up getting a good clutch out of her with two of the eggs hatching (a nice little pair). This year she ended up laying seven great looking eggs. Here is a series of pics showing one of the eggs being laid.






Thanks for looking,
Bryan Box

Thanks Todd,

I think that she is pretty average looking for a Limpia snake, but the male that bred her is another story.

Nice Bryan! I have one clutch of limpias so far. I need to get that female Davis to you before next summer.

Andrew,
Sorry I haven't gotten back with you. I have had some serious issues with my computer/e-mail. I could not find your phone number. If you have my number, give me a call. Congrats on your Woodward snake btw. I still want to trade out some babies this year.

Bryan,
I have your 8706 number from the last email and will try calling you sometime this weekend.

Best,

Andrew

Will do John as soon as I get my computer back up and running. I am using a friend's computer while I am staying with him in Alpine right now. I should also have three clutches of 9-milers. I have one clutch of 8 down right now. All wild caught females bred with a wild caught male. I should be back home Sunday night and will try to get in touch with you next week.

Bryan
