Snakes and Stones

[Lord Sorril]

So sorry for your disappointing clutch...I don't think I'd keep breeding that female, it seems like you'll just get more of the same. Breeding snakes can be very frustrating at times, especially when those most-anticipated snakes resorb their eggs. But look at the bright side, maybe "nature" knows what it's doing- not everything is meant to be.

As someone from the medical field: I do my best to defy Nature.

While I could stop breeding this female: Her mother just recently produced a solid clutch of 6 healthy eggs-which would suggest that past performance is not indicative of future results.

In addition: The clutch from this female has a 1 in 8 'egg chance' of meeting one of my final project goals (my first focused breeding goal-which I started 15 years ago).

Just in case: I have two females next year that will be reaching maturity from a separate breeding line, they will have a 1/16 chance of meeting the same goal...however I would prefer not to produce copious amounts of Hets if I did not have to...
