it was very cool, I actually sat there and watched her twist her body moving everything down. so glad I was able to witness it.

- a very happy xan powers

Very cool! Congrats! :gj:

Wow congrats :) She is a big beautiful girl, I bet you are so proud :D

pgh- thanks! I'll post egg pics in about a month and a half :)

Carlene- yes I am so proud. it's funny people joke that I talk about my female like she's my daughter but it really is special to have a snake for 7 years and care for it all through adolescence and when you reach adulthood, be able to breed her. it's very cool and I'm so happy she's doing such a good job. I told myself as a 13 year old boy that this female would lay my first clutch of my collection and it sure looks like she will.

it sure is! being my first year and all i kept thinking she was ovulating a few days before this but when I got home last night and saw this I knew there wasn't anything else it could be lol

just had a couple questions,

how soon after ovy does the female go into her coil on the heat and stay put? mine is still somewhat on the cool side and haven't observed any coiling.


my other question, I've read about temp fluctuations in rooms affecting incubator temps, my snake room is kept at 80-84 to provide their ambient temp on the cool side, would this room be suitable to have the incubator in?


thanks!
