my other bairdi laid.......

draybar Apr 21, 2005 05:35 PM

My other female, which I didn't think was gravid, laid 6 eggs today. I am not sure if they are good, though. They are pretty rubbery (squishy). They don't really look like slugs but the way they are so pliable makes me wonder.
I will watch them for a few days and see how they do.
These eggs are as large as the three from Rosie.
I will post pics later this evening.

In Rosie, the one that laid first, the eggs were pretty obvious.
In the other female I thought she was gravid at first but for the last few weeks I was convinced she was not gravid. Then she laid the six eggs.
BUT, as I mentioned yesterday I wasn't sure if here eggs were good because they were soft.
Well, when I got home from work today the answer was clear. They had sunk in even more and were starting to get green mold already.
Sure sign they are bad. They were flushed.
I think the second female might have been a touch small.
That's alright, I will have until next season to get her in shape and ready to produce.
So, at this time I have 3 good Bairdi eggs.
38 good corn snake eggs.
And one creamsicle and my cinnamon who haven't laid yet. They are both obviously gravid and should lay any day now.
It appears my normal corn isn't gravid so she will have to wait until next year.
