Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Lack of forum activity lately. Ive been very busy building a new snake room.
Ive now got about 300 square feet to play with, and will post some pics of it when finished.
it seems i have at least 5-6 gravid girls at the moment.
Pictures below are of the female that i think will drop first. She had many copulations throughout january, with the last recorded one being the 15/02. Her last meal that she accepted was a large rat on the 20/2, and then has shed on the 10/03 and then again 16/04. Since mid april, the only time i have seen her off the heat, has been to drink late at night.
Anyways here some pics, she looks like she might be a python in the last one coiled around eggs!!

cheers

This is why I keep detailed records. at first blush one might wonder which shed was the POS. And it seems logical that the second one would be the POS since it came so soon after the first???

However, my records show an average recorded length of time between last mating and POS of 30 days. 02/15 - 03/10 = 23 days
02/15 - 04/16 = 60 days

So from all that I would go with 03/10 as POS placing her due date at 07/05!!

She's looking good and looking forward to pics of the new room and babies when ya got them!!!

LOL, to many snakes to list, last count (02/01/2010):
42.61 BRB
27.40 BCI
And those are only the breeders

lots.lots.lots feeder mice and rats

yeah thats the feeling i have been getting aswell dave, that it was more likely the earlier one. But i guess time will tell. I think the new snake room, is coming at just the right time!!!!!
I keep very detailed records of everything that happens, but all on laminated bits of A4. Sooner or later, i will get it organised into a big spreadsheet.
i certainly have to do the same as you, with your photobucket spreadsheets, ie with the image codes. Its starting to get ridiculous trying to find pictures of particular animals, especially when i dont always name the photos

Albums, Albums and more Albums. In my account I have Albums for everything. Organized by..... (with example in parens)

Species (BCI)
Year babies (2010 BCI)
Litter name (Hershey x Reeses)
Sex (Male)
Animal name (Apollo)

Also have folders and sub folders for other stuff, same album and sub album format.

Makes it real easy to find pics afterwards. Of course if you want pics of several animals at the same time requires some scrolling up and down the album "Tree".

do you use Pro on photobucket? if so, many better features?

I do use PRO but that's from the sheer volume of pics. May have more features but I don't really use them.
