Woma eggs

My first Woma breeding experence did not turn out as well as I had hoped. She laid eight eggs but only one fertile. Both male and female are a little over three years old and 1.5 meters long with good body weight. Could this be a little young. Just curious. Thank you. Jud

I cooled the building down to 75 degrees to cool all the pythons. Is that too cool or not cool enough.

for anyone that wants, 75 is just a touch under 24 deg C

all my pythons have acsess to winter temps bettween 5 and 15 degrees, depending on the weather. Most of the womas home range drops to below 0 degrees over winter.
As long as they have hot days it is a good thing to give them acsess to temps around the 10 degree mark at night in the cooler months.
