New Amel Girl!

LOL... I didn't think males laid eggs! And I doubt he made that up, since he basically sold it for 1/4 of its worth - and even offered (today) to throw in a free glass tank, which he found after I left. They were just not snake people, and come to think of it, I was the one who asked about gender... his answer was "I think it's a girl, since we found eggs in her tank last year." Anyway, thanks for the replies/advice, and I'll still attempt to get a tail-shot for y'all.

Heck they might have been fertile as maybe she was bred before they got her.O well to late now .No problem thats why i am here .

LOL... ya never know! I am planning to breed her with Scout eventually, and according to the "genetic calculator" (online) that would yield 100% Amels. Correct? But if one is an Aztec reverse Okeetee and the other is a regular Amel, what will that create with their patterns - some who look like mom & some who look like dad, or will it make something new? And speaking of breeding corns, how big do the males have to be? TIA!

Btw, I fed her last night, and she devoured two live adult mice... and I think she's still hungry, because later she tried striking at my finger when I put it near the tub. I assume that was a feeding response, since she tracked it first & did a semi-coil after the attempted strike. Do you think her previous owners under-fed her, or was she just really excited about the meal? They said she was getting one mouse weekly, but it could have been hoppers for all I know.

She was still in feeding mode. I wouldn't feed her more then 1 mouse a week. You don't want her to get overweight.
