Looks like it will be a good year for jungles in Canada! How many jungle eggs does that make in total? Good luck with hatching. They are rather feisty when it comes to taking them off their eggs. While you are dealing with one section of coils and avoiding a bite, another section curls around. They don't get off them easily.

Sometimes I just let the jungles do the job. That's what they were designed to do.

Yeah, this one and the last one were particularily hard because the eggs were actually lifted off the ground. They had coiled literally AROUND the eggs, and the tail was through the middle. Took a full 20 minutes to get her off the eggs! LOL!

75-plus eggs righ now, with 3 more clutches to go. Should be interesting to see what hatches out.

Cheers bro!

I hope you have an ample supply of fuzzies. Man that is a lot of hatchlings to feed.

Its going to be a lot crazier around here than that! But I'm prepared! I have 250 spaces for baby cages in th racks and I have 1200 large-ish fuzzies in the freezer, but tons of live! I was over-prepared last year, so this year I should be right on the money! LOL! Well...for everything except sleep!
