    2012 Clutch #2 (My first clutch ever!!!)
    So my second clutch of the year is in the incubator!!! This is the first clutch I have ever produced. I rescued the female in November, she was dehydrated and underweight(1000grams). Got her on a good feeding regimen and she blew up to 1700 grams by March.

    I started pairing her with my Bumblebee and before the end of March my Wife noticed that she already had 5 Huge Follicles!!! She started refusing the male early last month and we missed her Ovy, But this Morning I found her sitting on 5 beautiful eggs they all candled with strong veins so they appear to be fertile!!!

    Now the person I got this girl from said she was 5 maybe 6 years old and said she was a male.

    She had never been with another Snake prior to my pairing her I was really not expecting eggs until late this summer or early fall from this pairing but this is AWESOME!!!

    I will follow up with Pics when I get home this evening!!!

    Congrats on your first clutch!:gj: and Good luck with the big 60 day wait, its gonna be hard to try and not peek at those eggs for a bit.:P

    Sounds you just had super perfect timing when you paired her and caught her follicles at the best time to be fertilized so quickly. Either way I hope all goes smoothly and you get some beautiful bee's ;)

    Yeah I feel like we hit the jackpot on the timing with her. Craziest part is I have another female that I bred to my Bee that we also felt 5 big follicles in not 2 weeks after we found them in the first girl.

    :O

    The second female is starting to heat seek and get a little ridge backed but she hasn't had her ovy as far as I can tell, but I've got a third Tub set up in the bator anyway!

    :D

    Starting to take her off she didn't offer to bite but she was hissing like a steam whistle

    She laid five big beauties

    The first clutch I've ever produced I'm such a proud papa!!!

    She was 1700 grams prelay and this morning She weighed in at 1050 grams so this is a 650 gram 5 egg clutch from a Bumblebee to Normal. Odds Gods smile on me!!!
