Ok I need some advice... My 12 year old spotted escaped her enclosure 3 months ago. After 2 1/5 months outside, I surprisingly found her again living under the back steps.
But heres where it gets complicated: evidently shes hooked up with some bloke snake outside and after a week back inside her enclosure she's laid 19 eggs.
So my question(s) are:
1. Legally, will I have the right to sell the hatchlings? (having been fathered by a wild snake) I live in Queensland.
2. Is it possible that maybe she has just laid the eggs like a chicken.. like without them being fertilised???
3.What sort of hatch rate should I expect from 19 eggs? From what I've read, 19 is quite a big clutch for spotteds???
Thanks in advance for your help folks, oh and by the way, she is definately my spotted and not just some other wild one. I can tell from her scale patterns... Ive had her since I was a kid!
