yommy - i was thinking the same thing about timeframe as sson as i saw that pic. I might try that method this year with a clucth and see how it goes. I know which girl ill try it with too - her last two seasons have seen her eggs go full term and die for some unknown reason - so a different method might help.

boondocker - do you ever uncover the eggs to either A) just check on them and make sure not dying/mouldy etc b) to helo circulate air around them?

Thanks for sharing!

Just thought I would chime in guys. Really enjoyed the last few posts about breeding as this will be a future project of mine and no doubt will help others in a similar boat.

Great stuff!

I love the fact that we can employ so many different methods with different outcomes.

Sounds like an interesting idea Dave. I may just pick 1 random egg from each clutch and try.
Though I may stay with my tried and proven method with the Rabbit Flats

Brad what you usual timeframe day wise for hatching?

I use the 80g water to 100g of perlite ratio with eggs hatching day 53-55 @ 31.5 degree's

Are you sure you do not mean 80 grams perlite?

cheers Josh you are correct, damn finger faults

gone back and corrected, though you might make a water woma with that ratio.... lol

...I produced some killer animals this year here are a couple more photos.

You sure did! Any chance of more pics of the one in the bucket at about "10 o'clock" with the reduced pattern?

Cheers, Aaron

Steve

My 5 month old male woma Steve. I've had him for two months now. He's shed once in that time and is fairly docile but seems fairly food crazy! He's my first python and has been great, I love him to bits. After seeing the previous posts I'm super excited to see how his colouring changes as he gets older.

Does anybody have any pics of some big sa womas?

Here is a large rather dark female SA in the wild, photo taken March 2010.
Cheers, Paul

Good to see some wild specimens. It looks pretty big but its always hard to tell without something to give it some scale. How big was that one?

 

[aspidito]

she was about 7 foot but well fed.....

Looks pretty solid.

Nice animal there, just be careful feeding on that substrate, impaction can be fatal with that stuff.

 

[Hathers85]

Couple of feeding pics .

 

[yommy]

Couple of pics of a holdback from season just gone, coming along nicely.....

 

[GeckoJosh]

Very nice Yommy

 

[yommy]

For those interested here's some male combatting to get the males interested and the female excited.......
Works a treat......
