White-Lipped Python Eggs!

First clutch of 2009 and it's white-lipped pythons! Sixteen eggs and three slugs. This is a new species for me as far as breeding goes, keep your fingers crossed for me.

momma looks exhausted, she did a great job for you :D

Congrats! Yeah, she really does look pretty beat. Great looking pair!

awsome!! i have my fingers and toes crossed that you get lotttstststs o' babies!!!

Thanks everyone!

Amazing! Since I got into snakes I've always loved the WLP and the Olive python.

Congratulations. I read they are tough to breed. How old is the Momma? Is she captive breed? I have a pair of '07's (and an '08) but I also read that they take four years to reach breeding age. My girl is big (a good eater) but I guess I'm still going to have to wait other couple of years to try????

Don't push any snake. Even though weight really makes a snake sexually mature vs age (most of the time) a female not ready will make you a mess of slugs or egg bind.

Beautiful!!!
