    They don't all go as planned

    There are many great web sites out that offer advice on how to breed Ball Pythons, 8Ball, Markus Janus, RDR. But the one thing I have learned this year is that they don't all go as planned or as many breeders like to show. Now this is not to say that most animals don't follow the pattern but some don't. I had both of the girls I bred this year be a fantastic learning experience and I wanted to share my very limited experience so that it might help someone else down the road or just give the full time breeders a laugh.

    My first clutch this year was produced from a normal to a Pastel breeding. my first lock with this pair was in Jan. she only locked 5 -6 times then OVY! and laid right on time. But she was a quick girl her eggs just hatched Saturday so its been 6 months for first lock to babys.

    Now the other girl.. she locked in Dec- Jan. She has locked every time with my spider male.....

    She would bowl wrap


    And lock


    And bowl wrap


    And lock


    For months it went like this.

    Well a few weeks ago she started the glow.


    Then the build




    And then she really got to glowing.




    And even a NEON GLOW


    And then some more locking


    And at long last OVY!!!!!!!
    It started small.


    And grew.


    And GREW!


    and GREW


    Till she was GINORMUS!!!


    So from Dec till this Saturday it took 25 locks and 7 months to get this girl to go..Any one thinks this crap is easy needs a reality check..

    Now lets see some spiders.
