Strange year?

well i just had a female lay on the 9th of this month , 1 due to lay any time now , and a female that just got folicles , and the temps have been up and down around here to . this year is just being stupid for some reason lol..

I already have 5 clutches on the ground and two have hatched. I also have other girls that are still building so who knows.

They go when they want to;)

It's all about the weather. It was a pretty dry summer and fall on the eastcoast anyway. I'm going to continue to pair them up.

I have had already 3 clutches in the bator and 2 of the clutches were 21 and 22 days post shed.Also had my corn drop 23 eggs a few days ago and is already in shed again.Two other females just ovulated and still getting hookups since november when i started.

your right on! its been just like that here in colorado!

I started 6 weeks later than last year and I am in So Cal for whatever that means??? I have 17 clutches on the ground with the first due to hatch on the 22nd. It is ovulation city here :banana: and looks to be so for the next couple weeks.

On a nice note, I have lowered my rack temps to 84 from 90 last season while keeping my ambient unchanged -- 84-88 day and 78-80 night. So far slug 5 percentage down after limited clutches. 72 good eggs 9 slugs. Many 4, 5, and 6 egg PERFECT clutches I would be fine if this percentage holds the rest of the year -- I have decided to give breeding year round a go. California summer temps -- day and night -- will be the main hurdle. We will see. :)

I agree, it does seem slightly off. My girl has yet to ovulate and a breeder I know was saying he has yet to get ANY clutches, and he has quite a few snakes.

Are you guys keeping with the schedule for temp drops ect? or are you extending the season, temperature-wise?
