Ceylonese python question

python2000 Jun 24, 2010 05:28 AM

Hi!
I've bred my 4 y.o female ceylonese to a male hypo het leucy burm. Breeding started in late january and ended in early march. She growed alot in the middle of her body (pre ovulation i think) and after about a month she has big bulge in the mid body and than after a while she did a long shed (everything seems normal). Now it's exactly a month fater the shed and she is quite fat but not near the the tail, always from mid body to about one foot before cloaca, she is between 7 and 8'. I've palpated her about one week ago and i clearly felt about 8-10 lemon like balls in her, but last one as i sayed above was about one ft before cloaca. I've bred other python species including GTP's, balls and carpets and what's concerning me is that eggs were always coming down near the tail before laying. May be i'm too anctious but that sounds strange a bit to me so i'll be glad to have any informations regarding your personal experiences.

Regards
Flavio

The lack of comments on this may be the result of readers who are in in shock that you would deliberately produce "mutts" out of a appendix 1 animal. Exactly why Indians and Ceylonese are regarded with suspicion as to their bloodlines.
