Mating Heterodon nasicus nasicus

Thomas.Leclercq Jun 26, 2003 03:45 PM

Hello.
Will I like to have an information, how long is necessary between the mating and the punter of the eggs?
Thank you for advance

"Punter of egg"? That must have lost something in translation?

Usually you can expect eggs 45-60 days after a succesful mating, but just because you observed mating on a particular day doesn't mean that is the day that ovulation/fertilization took place.

The eggs will then hatch in another 50-75 days

is the prelaying shed. A female hog will usually shed around 7-10 days before oviposition.

Sorry for the mistakes of translation.
Thank you for your answer.
It is not I that reproduced them, but a friend. He/it already had a few months ago a reproduction, but this one it is made in part during the hibernation that is for it that he doesn't know the length of "gestation" of the eggs precisely if one can call that so.
