Late Season Anyone...

Don't know what it is this year but Im having a really late season. Im on the east coast and I have spoken with a couple other breeders who are having the same issues. I Wonder if it has anything to do with weather patterns we had this past winter. I start pairring in late october every year and usually already have a couple clutches in the incubator by now but not this year. I only have about 10 females that went this year, I witnessed multiple locks on all of them some have just finished prelay shed and some are ovulating now Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat or if its just me lol. Here are some pics just for fun....

My snakes are ALL over the place this year--I have eggs hatching today, and I have some females that were still locking up last week!

my girls dont have a calender had one lay on may 4th and one on the 22nd another of my girls laid her eggs last sept and 2 are still locking up so i might have eggs cooking pretty muchh all year

Florida here and I do believe its been a late season for many...I hate/love when they are upside down like that...little freaky cause it almost looks like the snake is dead...lol...but a good sign that eggs will be on the way..good luck...

i know ive had my heart drop a couple times opeing the tubs seeing them laying flipped over

I'm kinda east coast. Alabama anyway. And I'm having a pretty late season. I've only got 4 females that I'm breeding this year, and 3 have taken already. 1 clutch in the incubator, 1 clutch is going to be laid around June 5th, and the last clutch should be laid in about another 45-50 days (she just ovy'd). The other female probably isn't going to take. I've stopped pairing males with her and don't expect anything, but you never know.

I started pairing Nov. 1st. Didn't see my first ovy until late March.

Well glad to hear its not just me lol. I luv seeing them inverted (only)during this time of year lol (the spider pictured looks like she is going to burst she is soo big lol)... sometimes I think they just mess with us. Well good luck to everyone hoping the ball Gods bless us all with great odds.. I'll hopefully be posting some egg pics soon lol :D

Im in the same boat. Im all over the place. Alot of locks and nothing just yet. Crossing my fingers. I see ovulating, but no eggs

I have had 6 clutches but I started since november also and the lock-ups started late....I am still getting locks just not as often as i was about 2-3 months ago....Keep introducing and feeding until they drop..:gj:

drop eggs that is...lol

Check your messages regarding that beautiful albino girl!

I usually have hatchlings by now, but this year I just got my first clutch on the 22nd. Better late than never.
