I tried breeding a pair for a few months to produce some BEL's. The female ended up not laying with me, and I assumed she was totally skipping this year since it was getting late, and I didn't want to wait another 6 months for her to lay. (I sold her due to her not switching to f/t) Then literally a month and a half after I sold her, SHE LAID HER CLUTCH. It had 9 healthy eggs! I saw photos.
The person I sold her to was keeping in touch with me, but unfortunately he apparently lied originally telling me he was an experienced breeder. Turns out after she already had her clutch, he didn't even have an incubator. I believe he forgot what he originally lied about in his excitement, and was all like "a buddy breeder of mine is going to hook me up with an incubator".... lol. I replied "oh you've never bred before?" and he saw the message and didn't reply until like 2 days later, and finally was sheepishly like "I have bred before". Rolls my eyes.
So I have no idea how the clutch is doing now, a week later, probably totally gone to waste.Just such a waste when I think about it.
anyway
I wanted to breed, just because I wanted the experience of seeing them pipping and taking a million photos of that! And I wanted the experience of having a bunch of baby snakes around and naming each of them. I'm a fan of creative marketing/creating online presence, and doing that for a small breeding hobby sounded fun too. I had three friends and a few followers who wanted a baby from the clutch.
