My friendly young albino black ratsnake (pic heavy)

So my Florida 'gals' eat like crazy all year long, but at some point in late spring they'll finally say "no thanks" to food, only it's not a shed. It takes a while & they
sure don't lose weight, not until they lay the slugs. You want to give them a nest box to lay in though, so they feel comfortable & don't get egg-bound for lack of a
suitable place...it's not as if they know they're only slugs. Actually these two snakes also do double-clutches . Their first clutch is always about 20 eggs, &
the second clutch is much smaller & most look like they're no good, whereas in the first clutch, many appear to be good eggs- they're infertile though and eventually
they'll go bad.

Wow that is super interesting! It's like chickens who go broody, even without a male around to make fertile eggs. And speaking of chickens, if Noodle ever lays eggs, I may play a prank on the FFA kids (my daughter is one of them) and place them in the hens' nests in their chicken barn!
