    Things we learn as we go!

    When I first got started I read every thing that I could get my hands on to tell me how to breed ball pythons. Adam Wysocki's web site, Mark Mandic's site. I talked with breeders and learned the things to look for. Laying cold , glowing, laying hot, ovulation then POS and then lay.

    Well that's all well and good. But they don't all follow that path. I bred this female to a lesser male this year. She only locked three times with this male, never went off food I mean she even ate last week and even ate 20 minutes after I pulled her off eggs, I never saw her glow, she never laid cold, never saw an ovulation. Low and behold I was feeding and checking on snakes tonight. I opened up this tub and there was this girl sitting on a clutch of eggs 4 good looking eggs.

    Just goes to show you that you never stop learning..

    So first clutch of 2010 is in the bator and looking good.

    Congrats!!

    They can be frustrating as all get out, but they do provide some pleasant surprises to make up for it.

    It's something I never expected. But having eggs in the bator 4 weeks before I thought I would is a good thing no doubt
