Suprise clutch......

ukbob Jan 02, 2005 06:22 AM

thought i'd share some pics with you of a suprise clutch i got from my female borneo. i was looking after a young male borneo for a friend of mine and went away for a couple of days to pick up a new rack for the snake room and give my old rcak to a friend. so while i was away a few snakes got room-mates. so i put the male in with my female thinking that at the age of 15 months he wont getting up to mischief.... well this what i came home to.....

well she laid a clutch in december and produced 30 eggs of which 10 are fertile and doing well in the incubator. to my knowledge this is her first clutch.

regards
bob

Hey Bob,
That is simply awesome to come back to that kind of surprise. And that number of eggs, is just amazing too. I have a gravid female Borneo, that is going to drop eggs sometime soon, I just hope that they are fertile this time out as the previous female dropped a second cluch of infertile eggs. Albeit, she did drop them prematurely too this time. The latter female is looking a wee bit more promising. Good luck!
