    Re: Wild Caught Female?

    Also do you have a good herp vet that can check her over or do approprite fecal exams? Have you ever handled a WC adult, let alone one that has a tendency to strike first and ask questions later? Have you ever dealt with a clutch of eggs prior to the one she's currently carrying? Do you have a near perfect quarantine setup so any other snakes you own are safe from anything she might have? What is your experience with WC adults? Can you provide appropriate care for her after she's dropped this clutch (as far as getting her eating again and so forth)? What if the entire clutch is a bunch of normal males that realistically don't have all that much value to you from a purely financial return issue?
