Need pics of clutches with two fathers

[Bill Buchman]

This clutch was from a Butter/Bee X Yellow Belly. Each male had three visually confirmed locks with the female. A few were within days of each other.

While females can retain sperm for up to a year, I suspect that breeding males back to back on a female will increase the odds for a split clutch. My five split clutches last season ALL had males "tag-teaming" the female.


1.0 BUTTER BELLY (first ever )
.1 BUMBLE BELLY
.1 PASTEL YELLOW BELLY
.1 SPIDER YELLOW BELLY
.1 BUTTER

There was one normal boy who was nudged out of the picture by his sibs.

I have to say thanks also, learn something new everyday, Ive never done so much research my whole life, who would of known snakes would have done it. I just went to school for the girls. If only my teachers could see me researching now, it would be jaw-dropping for them. lol

I can't tell what it is, but in the first pic the snake in the top middle and (s)he is in the top left in the second pic...it has some CRAZY head markings...like absolutely ludicrous markings on its head. very nice clutch man!

That is the Butter Belly. I will be posting some updated pictures this week. He is around 400 grams and will be breeding some girls in March -- I hope!

He keeps getting better with every shed!!

Bill...I just want to let you know that I greatly envy you. Now tell that boy to get to it!

Thanks for the kind words. I like my young males to be a "porky" 500-600 grams before I start breeding them in case they go off food at some point.

Like all the 08 offspring from my Butter breeder male, Mr. Butter Belly has a mellow/sweet tempermant -- just like his daddy!

Very understandable...just tell him that whenever you decide to breed him to get the job done

Thanks Chris for finding that one. I was thinking of posting it myself. I wish every clutch turned out that way!

Good times
