I think my girl is due for her pre lay in a few days, she is nowhere near the size of your girls. Is this the first year for either of the two you have pictured? It is the first year my female has become gravid. she isn't lumpy yet, but has definitely gotten a bit of girth to her.... I will get a pic on this afternoon....
i wouldn't know as Ive only ever bred scrubs before, i have never actually seen any other species eggs to compare them to, this season is the first time im going to have other species eggs to actually compare them to. they occur naturally up here and i find them extremely easy to breed, i also seem to have gotton lucky and all but 3 of the 14 are great to handle.Good Lord, those eggs are huge. Congratulations Affroalex. I am glad to see we have somebody that is succesful with this species. I have been thinking about getting a few captive bred hatchlings for a while now.
Well here are the pics of my girl.
She has started to get nice and dark and a bit milky in the eyes. I think in a week or so she will shed...... I will be keeping an eye on her.
I am considering leaving the eggs with her. It will be the only clutch of the season (only have two snakes.... Mr and Mrs Bredli). I will asses her condition post lay and try to feed her. If she is too thin or wont feed then I will remove the eggs for incubation.
Colours in the photo are terrible! She is hypo-melanistic bred by Luke Ridley.
Surprise, surprise...
Found this girl on a cluster of 13 good eggs this morning when cleaning out her water bowl. Just goes to show you can't trust the pre-lay shed schedule, she wasn't due to lay till the 18th Dec...
