Squam close:

Oxyrhopus Jul 07, 2009 11:26 PM

One sure way to bet your squam is gravid is how they use the heat lamp. This jumbo orange produces each year and is now putting her lower half directly under the heat lamp. I can also see the babies inside her twitch once and a while and she goes out of the lamp. There are two males with her, a red below and yellow in the lower back and both bred with her so I cannot wait to see what comes out this year. Mom is in shed now so that may be thre preshed I have been waiting for.

Nice! That's interesting that you mention a preshed. None of my Atheris have ever done a prelay shed. That includes ceratophora, chlorechis, and a lot of litters of squams.
