Slugged out!

This pic was taken 29 days ago of my large female, right after her pre-lay shed. I came home from work today, to find she had started laying, probably around 4-4:30 CST. As of this post time, it looks like she will still lay more, but so far, not one of the 15 she has laid is viable. For the people on the waiting list for bloods from this clutch,all that I can say is, SORRY! If anyone is going to be in the market for 05's, I can make a recommendation,if you care to contact me. Thank you,Kevin

Thats a bummer man. Your babies were so gorgeous too. I guess that just means you'll have a bigger list for '06

Wow Kevin, Im so sorry that this has happened, I hope you can at least get some good eggs out of her.

Thanks for the support, you guys are great! I have come to the conclusion that she was probably just too fat! She had'nt eaten for 4 mos. prior to dropping the slugs,and in the 6 mos. before becoming gravid, she ate 11 times, but 4 of those times she ate 2 lg/jbo rats. She was good size already, when I aquired her last June, I should have offered smaller meals, and I may have been ok.
