    More Eggies!!!! Major DUW!!
    It is so exciting! :D This morning when I got up I checked on Lucky our 04 normal female and she was wrapped around her clutch! She produced our first clutch for us last year of 8 eggs. This year she laid another 8 eggs! She was bred to Don Juan our Pastel het SKA.

    Then I looked over and my baby Mona was laying her eggs! I actually got to watch her lay her eggs!!!! :D :D :D Mona is the my 2nd ball python, but Art's first. She is an 05 reduced pattern normal. This is her first clutch, and she laid 7 eggs!!! :gj: She was also bred to Don Juan.

    Here are some pics:

    Thanks guys!

    Last year we used only vermiculite and we wanted to try the grates this year. Lucky's clutch had 2 eggs I couldn’t separate and they were on top of each other so I had to build a little shelf with the vermiculite.

    So far that and the singles will roll if they are not surrounded by its neighbors are the only down fall I've found with the grates.

    We will see I will definitely let you know which I like better.
