ok so i had my first season last year. 10 snakes, 9 virgins, 5 pairings, 3 took and 3 successful clutches. it was fun, nerve wracking and overall a very good experience from incubator build, drunken night pairings, egg building and laying, incubation and pipping, etc.
one of the most odd and funny moments was post-lay, i would always find 1 egg had rolled away from the rest of the eggs within the momma BP's coils. is this a common thing?
lemme show u what i'm talking about...
this is my Fire YB girl. seems like that 1 egg was gonna roll away. there were 6 eggs total in this clutch.
maybe that 1 egg was gonna roll all the way away if i pulled the eggs much later.
and this is my Pied girl on 6 eggs. one had rolled away completely.
see:
and lastly my Super Cinny girl on 6 eggs.
no rolled egg? butt wait a minute!
lol i don't think she's done! omg!
and a lil bit later, the 7th and last egg is a rolled egg!
so what happened here? 3 clutches from 3 virgin gurls w/ 3 rolled eggs? my working theory on egg rolls is that the last egg from the clutch is the one that rolls way. i think this is demonstrated by my Super Cinny above. i think her nature or muscle memory had her re-coil around the eggs she just laid but i had yoinked. they were not there but she was really hissy and it seemed like she still on guard for the 6 eggs she was originally wrapped around. the last egg seemed like it was laid/squirted out farther away or rejected and rolled away from a full egg coil. i think the egg roll is the last egg laid!
what do u think? what is your egg roll theory?
