Here they come again! there should be some nice babies from this clutch, they are from my best male and my best female. this will be her 9th clutch this year with one more clutch in the incubater from her and the only way I have found to get her to stop producing egg was to start cooling her down for the winter. she still has good wieght on her and Im sure she will be ready to go again in a few months. what great little snake these guy are! by for my favorite snakes, and I do have lot of others.. I will share more pictures as they come out to see the world. thanks.

Wow! that's amazing. Do tri's really produce that much more in nature? I am very interested in this and was thinking about getting a pair of them.

not sure what they do in the wild but every female I have breed has laid at least 8 clutches per year. and would most likely lay more if I would let them. let me know when your ready to get some.
