Last but not the least!

Well I got my last clutch for this year this morning. This girl gave me 6 last year and she dropped 8 for me this year which makes that my largest clutch for the year.

Overall I am pretty happy with how this year went with the ball pythons, out of 12 breedable females 11 laid fertile clutches for me and thats a pretty good percentage. Even my small clutches packed a pretty good punch, one four eggs clutch gave me 1.3 YBs and a 3 egger gave me 2.1 YBs.

Here is a photo from this morning.

Eggs ready for the 'bator

I did a repeat of last years breeding with her because she and my male pastel produced some knockouts in that clutch.
This is one of my holdback females from that clutch.

Hopefully I can get some more nice ones again this year!

Very cool, best of luck with those eggs. :gj:

Eleven out of twelve females laying, that's great! Congratulations.

11 out of 12 is great. Good job. Anyone would be happy with those kind of numbers.

Ooooh! She's pretty! congrats and good luck gettin some killer pastels out of her!

Thanks! I am pretty stoked with how my girls have done. It is funny because last year I went 6 for 7 with the lone hold out being the same girl that didn't go this year.

Thank you, she is a looker and if her pastels are anything like last years bunch they should be lookers as well.

This is another female pastel I kept from last years clutch.

Congrats and good luck, nice number of eggs.... hope to see some nice pastels!

What a pretty sight, a big healthy female BP on a stunningly lovely clutch of eggs - congrats Kevin! I can see why you held back those Pastels. They are gorgeous!

Nice Clutch and that's an awesome pastel!
