 |

hi
my female is looking really saggy, bit pitifull.
I can understand why people recomend 1500grms for breeding. she was over 2k and looks like she has been in a war.
My family are all feeling sorry for her, one of my lads suggested ping pong balls for her to cuddle to make her feel better.
hopefully she will start feeding soon.
mike

Yep they certainly look exhausted after laying. Most of mine have all started to feed again now, one has taken a rat a night for 4 nights  So should hopefully get her shape back soon.

thanks scott
the size of the eggs came as a shock, my incubator would not have been big enough for 2 clutches.

| How nice to hear of a family being so concerned about their snake, the idea of ping pong balls might have been a bit daft - but sooo kind. A true reptile man in the making, well done that young man |

hi
I got 7 eggs, she has started feeding, had 3 small rats so far.
The male is 100% het for albino NERD, and the female is 50% het for albino NERD and I am praying for albinos.
thanks
mike

There is not one of us that could go through childbirth, not one, i dont care what anyone says, there is no man alive that could put up with that sort of pain, I have three kids, seen everyone being born and ever since I seen the first one I have had the upmost respect for woman and never once questioned their ability to put up with a whole lot of pain and 'poo' for things that are whoth it.
Respect... |
