Show us your greens!!!

Pat I am afraid I have to disagree. From previous experiences, they don't seem to discard slugs. In this particular clutch, there was one slug and that was included in the cluster, yet a good looking egg was pushed out, or she simply didn't manage to scoop it up. Time will tell if this discarded egg is fertile or not (I didn't candle them).

Fair enough. Perhaps being a relatively small mother and a large clutch, she sensed that she wouldn't be able to incubate that many eggs and deliberately excluded it.
Maybe she sensed that there was something abnormal about that particular egg, like it's an albino or something.

Ahhh, now you're onto something. I put a mark on that egg.

I experienced exactly that this season. The egg rolled out of the nest box. This was the first egg i went to pick up. Upon doing so Jewel struck me through the hole in the box. I flung the egg straight across the enclosure.Not my best effort ha ha. Anyway i put an x on the egg.I pipped the eggs on monday nite and guess who was first one out this morning. Mr X. I will post some pics when more come out.

In my experience It's 50/50. I find that females that have a larger nest box or laying area will always and let's just say "push" the infertile eggs away from them.

Females of mine that have smaller and more tight fitting nest box seem to clump everything that gets laid. This would be because of the position they are in when laying, the typical coil and shoot back towards the centre.

I can't comment on wether 100% the animals know that the eggs are fertile or not.

Oh, that's nice Ryan, how old is it?
I am keeping all the "internationals" till they change colour and half of the natives this year. How else would you know what you're breeding?

 

[Greenmad]

Hi Michael this one hatched 10/10, i think holding onto clutches is the only way to get the end result.
To get the end result with any snake is to keep them all until they are coloured up enough to determine what your working with.

Here is another one that i kept.
She will be the bride for the pictured previous.
And a extra pic of one of my females two weeks out from laying.

Great info guys. How long would it take for a lets say a good egg to be ruined because the female has discarded it? Temp wise would be the cruitial factor, But would we be talking hours/days? Just say you went on a long weekend came back and found the female coiled around the eggs bar one. Do you bin it? Do you candle and see veins this early?

Ryan, what a pair!

 

[Waterrat]

You have a nice stock to build on Ryan, I like the clean colours on those two "to be partners". The one on the right is fugly. Get some bleach and brush off that mold off her. LOL

Jaffa, if the female is kept in a heated enclosure (30 degrees), the only threat to any discarded eggs is dehydration. As long as you collect them within 5 -6 hours after laying, they should be alright. I don't candle eggs, if any are infertile, you know within the fist 2-3 days.

 

[SamNabz]

Wow Ryan, stunning pair there mate - good luck this coming season mate, I'm sure we'll see some rippers.

Thanks mate, i hope in 10+ years I'm producing some nice quality designer greens for australia to play with.
You just hurt the big girls feelings now lol. She could do with a good bleaching as you say. It's her genes i want as most of the craziest gtps come from the .... island type. Outcrossing that type has produced most of the worlds designer lines.
So my fingers are crosses i get a few odd balls over the years of breeding ahead.

Michael the fuggly girl produces these. lol.
Beauty on a stick.

"Fugliness" can have several meanings. LOL
Maybe we can do some swapping once they (yours and mine) show their true colours. ??
