I don't know what kind of drugs my snakes are on but I have different experiences with my whole collection than the norm. Mine gravid female also eat their clucthes as soon as they lay them even though they refuse food the last few weeks before they lay.

This problem has been going on for several years and to say it is heartbreaking is an understatement. Sometimes I just want to give up when that happens. Last year i had around 10 clutches eaten. Some of these clucthes were extremly rare or very high on peoples want lists. Same thing happened the year before that and before that. It is not always the same females that are doing it. Matter of fact it is different females always everytime. This year it could be completly different females than last year. Last year I had more clucthes eaten than ever before. I wish there was some data on this happening with other peoples collections but so far no one has steped up to the plate and said this is a been a problem for them.



Oh and my gravid females are fat to.
