Ed,

Brad has kept what appears to be good records on his Russians. I can only "assume" he's doing his best to breed them and according to his results, they are still fairly problematic. Infertile, couple babies out of a clutch, only a few every few years, etc......There was just way too many baby Russians for it to be anything else other that what I was told. For all these babies to show up at the same time like they did means that all these "breeders" would have to have been on the same page with selling their offspring.

To answer Davids question....Why would it seem soo unrealistic for an importer to know that his hundreds of female Russians are holding eggs? He probably saw some eggs in with the shipment, and figured it was the season and took a chance to oxytocin all of them. Heck, if he's got a good relationship with the exporter, maybe the exporter (who probably knows the breeding season of Russians well) advised him to oxytocin them. Not really that far-fetched.......

Barry
