double clutch bullsnake

john dhont Jun 13, 2010 02:02 PM

A few days ago I asked if Pituophis double clutch.
Well yesterday I got the answer from my bullsnake.
After her first clutch of 13 eggs I didn't want to put the male with her again because 13 eggs looked like a huge effort to me and I didn't want to force her.
She decided that she was ready for it and laid another 4 fertile eggs together with 8 sluggs yesterday.
She laid already 2 sluggs this week.
If I introduced the male to her after the first clutch the number of fertile eggs would probably have been higher.
