or sometimes it just happens

Ralph had one of his pet project snakes this year slug out except one or 2

my 11 egg this year was a first time mom as well,she had a couple weak eggs,one went a week then went bad,but thie other 10 now have dark halos and are getting strong,so tis defintely not always a first time breeding thing

and i my male is also around 700 grams his first season,and hes been breeding everything in sight,and so far not one slug(didnt think to quote his part about his male as well)
