Hello!
I am devenco, I am 24 years old and always been fascinated by animals and breeding, but it had to be said reptiles always had a very special place in my heart!
Sadly when I was younger my parents did not like reptiles, so I mostly kept fish and even bred them from a young age (around 5-6). Moved out on my 17th and therefore never really had the finances to pursue my dreams!
Then got a girlfriend afraid of reptiles... So it took a while to convince her (6 years). Secretly I always kept researching and looking at reptiles (hours on end in pet shops and zoos)!
So earlier this year she said she allowed 1 small snake in the house... A Pantherophis guttatus, but from the moment she said yes (january/february) my reptile passion and breeding passion went from a fire to a blaze...
And now ... we have 5 snakes1 corn 4 ball pythons, fun fact my girlfriend LOVES the ball pythons and their behaviour! (not the head yet though lol).
So as of next year I will breed these awesome animals ! Maybe even have my first clutch this year! (more on that later)
So this is where it all started with:
Now I had a question about my maybe gravid ball python!
got her a few weeks back so all information is not from me but from former owner, I will keep track or everything in maps etc <3
she was paired back in March to a Pastave (so pastave X pastel) and a lock was seen. She also has stopped eating since february!
This morning she was laying in her water bowl! Now would this be her ovulation or does she just like swimming? She has muscles like a champ so palpating is not an option (yet due to my inexperience with palpating)
So her is she laying in her bowl:
And now our other 2:
0.1 Fire:
1.0 Pewter Bee
And next week we will get a 0.1 normal of around 2,2 kg (just layed so normally around 2,7kg) which has a little bit of an attitude!
