please share your gravid girls

It was an amazing 3hr show watching her lay the eggs. Finished with 11 eggs in total. All with good viens, though 1 has a weird tip on it. It's been placed seperately into it's own container but all are doing well. I've included a few pics from her laying, candling eggs as that's pretty interesting for new breeders to see and a pic of her this morning.

Amazingly for the size she was she still has good condition and has eagerly eaten this morning, womas and their appetites

Hey guys, I just found a light yellow coloured plug inside my female diamond enclosure, about the size and length of your thumb. She had a pre-lay about 2 weeks ago and I'm just wondering if snakes actually pop a plug out before laying?

I know female humans do this before giving birth, is this the same for pythons and has anyone else ever witnessed this before?

Turned out it wasn't a plug at all, it was a slug (but so small I've never seen anything like it before). She popped another out today which looks normal size and a definite slug...

This is my first diamond breeding and have been told if they are going to have a large clutch, they can actually move the slugs down and out to make more room for the eggs (Amazing). But on the bad side, I've also been told she could end up laying an entire clutch of slugs.

She is not due for another 2 weeks and am getting worried she may produce the later. Fingers, toes and everything else crossed that all is ok. I'm like a father-to-be at the moment...pacing up and down the hall, my diamond looks at me like...'Would you beep off and leave me alone'...lol.

my girl has tricked me somewhere down the line, she's on 42 days and still nothing will give her to 50 day mark and offer food.

Two more of my girls have laid now. My single stripe spotted girl laid 11 fertile eggs. My double stripe laid 5 slugs and 13 fertile last night.

Got some pickies as I gently removed her from her eggs.

One last girl still to go;

 

[byron_moses]

wow saz that last one is stunning

 

[Bez84]

Heres one of my giant female diamonds, dont know if shes gravid as male appeared to have no interest in her but never know what goes on in the hide box lol.
All she does now is lay coiled on her hide box in the heat and cant tell if shes bigger then when she went into cooling as she hasnt eaten since april and doesnt look like shes lost weight, hard to tell as she is a big girl lol.
Shed a week or so back and skin layed out on carpet measured 3.4 metres might have to get around to measuring her some time lol.
Pics taken today.

Hi Sarah,

Long time since you've posted, hope alls good, that last pic IS a stunner for sure.

AM some lovely animals there mate, i'm glad i'm not the only latish one...lol

 

[hawkesbury reptiles]

I'm so proud of this girl...
I was so worried when she ovulated...she was stretched so tight It looked like she swallowed a coke can..:shock:

Found her laying 2 days ago (after 21 days from pre lay), left her for the day and found this in the afternoon...she's a Murray/darling (nsw pilliga locale).....very exciting and her first clutch as well...10 good eggs...)
