OK, occasionally I get to thinking that I am starting to catch on
and actually know something about snakes. In keeping with Rich's AHHHHHH, I was tapping my foot waiting for my Black female to lay her eggs. She never really looked like she ovulated but I convinced my self that I just wasn't paying enough attention. She did'nt get real pudgy but is pretty robust anyway. She and the male were hooked up for 2 weeks solid so I felt it was just money in the bank. After her shed I waited and waited and waited for her to lay her eggs. After 45 days I had to take her to the vet to make sure she wasnt egg bound. We did an ultrasound and saw no sign of eggs. We also didnt see any folicles. By now you probably know the end of the story. All this time I was waiting for the male to lay eggs. The only egg around was the egg on my face. Boy, did I feel dumb! In my defense, I have fallen on my head many times and I think it has had cummulative deliterious effects.
The un-humerous side of the story is that the "new" female wasn't gravid at all either. Apparently snakes have recreational sex.
Happy Snakin'
