Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Folks,
As part of a study being undertaken by a graduate student in my department, I am looking for accurate data on gestation time (either ovulation to parturition, or POS to parturition), and also litter size, including still borns and slugs.

I don't care if its one litter or 1000. If you have accurate date, we would love to get it. Also, we need to know which species it is from.
If anything comes of it that is worth publishing, your contribution will be fully acknowledged.

You can PM me or post directly to here. If you have larger datasets (excel spreedsheets for example) PM me and I will pass on my email address.

Thank you,

Warren

Hey Warren, I have literally dozens (and dozens) of documented pairings with POS and parturition dates in BRB's. Some with Ovulation dates as well. Enough that I have determined the average POS - Parturition span in BRB's to be 117 days. Give me a few days to put it all together for you.

0.1 Wife (WC and still very fiesty)
0.2 kids (CBB, a big part of our selective breeding program)

LOL, to many snakes to list, last count (02/01/2010):
42.61 BRB
27.40 BCI
And those are only the breeders

lots.lots.lots feeder mice and rats

Thanks Dave. I knew some of you guys would be meticulous enough in your husbandry to have this data over the years.
