Reptile & Amphibian Forums

This morning I found my pair of 100% het albino carpet pythons copulating, so I snapped a picture. My female weighs around 4000 grams now and if you look in the photo at the bottom left you will see that she is very swollen. I hope that this proves to be a good clutch. With her being at the 4000 gram mark and over six feet long, I am thinking that she might lay a very large clutch. The only concern I have is that this is her first clutch, but she has the age so I am hopeful. Will Bird

There is a difference between ignorance and stupidity. The ignorant can be taught, stupidity is beyond our control.

I have had pretty good luck over the years with first-time python clutches from females with sufficient maturity and good body weight. Sounds like you have satisfied those conditions and should have a good chance of success.
