hmmm. sure sounds like you're starvin' them!
yeah it sure does seem like I am starving them. And I am sure that is what FR wants to say. But as you know I am a big proponent of feeding my snakes more than others. They double clutch and they eat through the winter as well. However the period before laying they don't want to eat for a few weeks. Someone told me they might be lacking calcium and this could be the reason. I think it has to do with something in the way i have them set up. Really have no clue as to why these snakes are doing this and why it never happened in the past. This year i have everything on chicks instead of small rats. So I wonder if the switch will make a difference.
It is also weird they won't eat each other, but they will eat their own eggs. I have different femels do this ebery year except for 3 sulfur lavenders that have this 4 years in a row. . That is why i can't fill the demand for the sulfur lavs. And yes the females have good weight on them but still eat their own eggs:
Sorry about the diversion from the OP.
