    Feels good to get some eggs from this girl
    My second clutch was laid this morning from one of my favorite but equally frustrating ball pythons. She is a nice 04 CH but she has been a very slow grower. I have had to have a patient attitude with her and just offer her food and if she feeds then great, if not then just offer again another time. Weighing just barely 1000 grams at the start of the breeding season I didn't have high hopes of getting much out of her but I really wanted to match her up with my yellowbelly male as another little dinkin' project. Well, she rewarded me with 4 beautifully fertile eggs and I couldn't be more proud of her.

    Well chondro eggs are up next and I have a feeling blood will be shed trying to get those eggs. I gave my female GTP the name "Killer" for a reason, OUCH!

    Patience is not a virtue I was born with, that's for sure, but through my years of being a herper and a father it is now one I am begining to aquire.:rolleye2:

    Thanks for the congrats everyone! It will be interesting to see if the females high gold color will amp up the color of any yellowbellies produced in the clutch. Maybe? Maybe not? Either way, the proccess of trying to do a little selective breeding is pretty fun.
