These are my keepers from last year. They are hypo, het for stripe and lavender. I used Serpentine Widget's Snake Measurer.



The male: 44 inches. He has gotten a little fat this summer.









The female: 43 inches.







I am debating whether or not to breed them in the spring. Their mother is the one that prolapsed twice, requiring a couple of trips to the vet. She was given calcium injections, and only 8 out of 20 eggs ended up hatching. She was just under two years old and is now retired from breeding due to her prolapsing.



So now I am a little leery about rushing things with this female. Any thoughts anyone? Could prey size (calcium content) have anything to do with it? She is eating adult mice now.



Thanks.
