Hi folks,

my female white-lipped python layed 8 eggs this night. Looks quite good but it's a heck of an action to get them out of there.
Pictures will follow soon.

Cheers,
Wulf

Hi Wulf I'm very happy that your efforts concerning WLP have reached this success. This breeding season I've bred pure Hog Is. Boa...not too bad...After having seen the very low quality of our football team I hope we'll not win anything...

Cheers

I'm looking for a pair of baby blacks!

how large and old are the adults? Black or gold phase?

Hi Jasin,

they are both from the northern or golden race. The male is 17 years old and slightly over 6ft and quite large in diameter. The female is 10 years old, also 6ft long and slim. She only eats white mice. The female was introduced to the male in November, keeping climate and light as always. They were not fed during the whole time! It took quite a while until they started mating. They actually did until april 2004 and until a week ago I wouldn't have thought that she is carring eggs. She didn't look like it. Then she started with this typical position (body up side down) and I separated her from the male. I placed a box with damp moss and a heat pad below in her cage to make sure she gets the right temps (30°C day and night). On Friday night it happend, but I missed it
Shed was about three weeks before laying.

Cheers,
Wulf

That's strange,
I had the same situation with my fuscus this year. They where together from November on, and I only witnessed copulation once in January. I thought I saw the female ovulate, but I was not sure. I left them together until about two weeks before she laid her eggs. I actualy had no idea she was gravid, I just had given up hope of them producing this year. But sure enough, I came home and found her on eggs??? It was 29 days after her last shed, but I was not expecting it.
I wish someone in the states would produce some white lips this year!!! I realy want some CBB ones!!! Oh, and here's a pic of the first fuscus to slit its egg.

Hi Jasin,

well, that's really funny, isn't it. It happens when you don't expect it to happen. L. fuscus are my second favorits and I love fucsus neonates with their rounded head. Just cute looking I loved my water pythons and the (assumed) female was tame like a dog. Great animals!

So, congrats on them!

L. fuscus as well as any other Liasis is not that common over here in Germany, because of their bad reputation of biting. Only few work with wlps and even less breed them and even worse with L. fuscus. Good to know a guy from the netherlands breeding the latter ones (Hi Bas!).

Cheers,
Wulf
