    Talking The final countdown

    This is my first ever clutch of ball python eggs. Its been 3 yrs in the making but this lady didn't want to go for me years prior, despite being well old enough and large enough. Back when they were still follicles I palpated 5 but as they became eggs I could at least feel 8, She was due today and laid right on the money with 9 good eggs.
    Was pretty much a Dinker x Dinker clutch.

    I caught her like that yesterday.


    and like this today


    The clutch weighs 908g, just about 100g an egg and set her weight back to 1800gs now, she s got a fair bit of chowing down to do if she wants to get back to the 2500g she was before she ovulated.




    I am sooo grateful for the clear door in the incubator, my curiousity will be easily sated without me having to open it. I have the eggs on substrate-less incubation, but no lid cause I can easily keep the humidity at 99% in the entire thing. I'm thinking of incubating them at a lower temp between 86-88, I really don't want to come to 90 cause that leave no room for a possible upward temp flux. lol and please don't mind the junk all over the bator.

    It's a very nice first clutch, enjoy it because their is nothing like the very first one, and if you think it's great now wait till you see those little heads pipping out.

    Yea I'm going to save those water pearls for the hatchlings, like around when they start slittng the eggs.

    and after a short bath & tub cleaning the proud mama took a small rat within a few hours Thats the icing on the cake for me
