First clutch of the year, 8 Plump Eggs.
The first clutch of the year. I just wish I knew who the sire was, she retained sperm from last season. I Know it was either a Lesser or Pastel, guess it will be a surprise.:snake:

Nope ! She went off food real early. So I figured something was up, she doesn't miss a meal for anything but egg laying.:snake:

Congrats! I just bought a big breeder female and next year will be my first clutch :)

it is pretty common. i bought a tank off a guy who owned venomous snakes for educational purposes and he had a copperhead female that had not been introduced to a male in over five years, but she gave birth to a little copperhead after all that time!

That is a good question I am interested in the answers to this question as well.

Oh, I knew it was coming. I've been palpating her, and I caught her ovulation. I just don't know who the daddy is, she laid eggs last season. I hatched out 6 Pastels and 1 Normal. She was also paired with my lesser, maybe it's his little swimmers turn.:snake:
Thanks for the congrats.
