Re: After 14 years, my snake surprised me...
Quick epilogue... just wanted to post that after a few days of rest and rehydration, Rat Bite Baby ate a small white rat last night, and all was good with the world again. :floating: Great suggestions, Bogertophis.
It's good to breathe again after the past months. Sincerely appreciate the kindness and, as always, the great guidance by BP.net members. Now I just have to get used to writing 0.1 instead of 1.0....:cool:
Re: After 14 years, my snake surprised me...
Congrats on your clutch, glad your girl is eating again.
I've had a similar situation, in 2019 my female (24yo) bp (that I thought was male) laid 6 good eggs+1 slug, by parthenogenesis.
Then in 2020, 6 good eggs, by parthenogenesis.
Then ate 29 f/t rats without missing a meal.
Then today (age 27) has just laid X eggs, by parthenogenesis.
I haven't been able to see the clutch yet.
From prelay shed, I had to wait 48,43,49 days for eggs.
I'm wondering do you know how long it was from her prelay shed to laying for your bp as she was also older, cause most people give values of 30 ish days, but mine has just done 49 which was stressful for me, as I thought she could be eggbound.
Let me know if you know, as there's little data out there for older snakes.
