Woma ovulated but didnt mate......

[deebo]

testing out the nest box.....

 

[WomaBoy]

Hope all goes well mate !

 

[Raymonde]

In theory, she choose to use the stored sperm, so hopefully that means she feel healthy enough to lay successfully. I hope all goes well, keep us posted, it is an interesting situation.

 

[deebo]

first two eggs out this morning with no dramas - one looks like its infertile, but the 2nd looks to have plenty of veins in it. Still a few to go by the looks of things......

and unrelated but a little whip snake i saw hiding under our jacaranda while I had the camera with me!:lol:

 

[junglepython2]

Congrats, very interesting.

 

[thomasssss]

jesus has been laid then

 

[RSPcrazy]

Well there you go, woma's can retain sperm and use it years down the track. I find this very interesting, as I can't believe the sperm could stay alive that long.

 

[Ozzie Python]

good stuff dave. hopefully the slug that came out is the retained egg from last season.

 

[SarahScales]

Ohh my goodness! Congratulations! How exciting!

 

[bitisfan]

That is pretty neat! Never had any of my snakes retain sperm. Nice catch taking photos of it laying!

[congo_python]

Congrats Dave I hope the incubation goes well for you.

 

[eddie123]

[deebo]

she laid 6 in total so far - there is at least one or two still in there that she hasnt laid. Will see what happens overnight with her.....

 

[eddie123]

thats awesome. Bet you were'nt thinking of her laying this year. hahah

 

[deebo]

was not expected or planned at all.....she will get rested again next year so hopefully nothing happens then and she can get a year off to rest and recover!

 

[eddie123]

haha. Good luck with incubation, keep us updated. I wanna see cute little baby womas in 2 months

 

[deebo]

she popped one more out this morning and there is still one to go but she doesnt seem too interested in trying to get it out at the moment....the one from this morning doesnt seem to be fertile but will see what happens.
