nice!! do RBBs birth live babies?
Yes my friend they do. Great snakes to own. I've kept them for many years but don't usually breed them unless I have people ask me to. This is the first clutch I've produced for a long time, she is the youngest of my lot. Over the years I've had other females drop as many as 22
There'll probably be a few spares with this lot if anyones interested but they won't be available for a couple of months yet. Probably best to PM me.
Quite a number of our elapids are live bearers. Adders, Tiger, Copperheads, The broad-head group, Swamp Snakes, Small Eye Snakes just to name a few. I had 3 tigers drop over a hundred between them some time back and ended up giving most of them away to friends.
Cheers.
That is fascinating. I just did a quick Google to try and find out why some snakes are live bearing and others lay eggs but there doesn't seem to be much on the why and lots on the how. Do you have any theories @GBWhite?
