So heres the story. Over the winter I bought what was supposed to be 2 female double het hypo albinos. Given I live in michigan so it took quite a while before the breeder was able to safely ship them to me. If memory serves me correctly they were both 500ish grams when I got them. When I finally got them, I found 1 of them to be a male. The breeder and I worked out that issue, I have nothing negative to say other than he made a mistake but made it right. So fast forward to this sunday feeding snakes, I find this:
Acting strange, biting but doesn't want to eat, and then you can see what was up.
not the healthiest looking eggs, but still have veins. I guess the 700 gram snakes eggs go into the incubator. Mind blown.
so what the breeder thinks happened was he had the 2 "females" together preparing for shipping. Which normally we wouldn't think twice about, but with one being male, looks like they got busy really quickly. I would never recommend anyone try anything close to this, it happened to be a happy accident where thankfully there were no complications. As you can see it only gave 2 eggs, not exactly ideal. Next time she sees a male she will be close to twice her current weight. It will however will be interesting to see how many eggs she produces the next few seasons.
Guess I get to look forward to the results of a het sunglow x het sunglow pairing.
