This girl laid a nice fertile clutch of nie eggs for me last week. She laid the entire clutch in this position!! Go figure!! This is her 7th clutch since March and she has not been with the male since April! I had planned on her stopping in August, but I do not think she listened to me at all!!!!

I can't believe they are fertile after that long...little machines!

She is laying a clutch every 30 days then? That is just insane but cool as hell :rockon:

Seven clutches in eight months !!?!?? Can snakes do that??? If you kept a male with her you'd be have a houseful of young'ns in no time.

7 clutches that is really amazing. I wasn't aware they could stay fertile that long. That's one heck of a egg laying machine there :lol:

Quig I had four females lay this year and produced over 200 babies. This girl is my enigizer bunny. Last I had the starve my girls to get them to stop, but that was so hard on their systems. This year I am pumping full of food and supliments and waiting for them to stop on their own. I mean, how long can that one breeding last!?! The other girls already stopped due to some RI issues.

I've never heard of anything like that in snakes. One or two clutches in a season maybe. Monitors yes, but snakes? That's crazy. Good I guess, but crazy LOL.

Wow, that's insane her laying that many clutches in that short time frame. How many eggs has she given you total? Now that's one of your tri-color hoggies right? Can't really tell since she's got her head under the substrate lol.

This one female has given me 84 eggs. Of the 84, I have had 54 hatchlings, with 3 more clutches in the incy. Of course, I do not expect 100% hatch rate in these later clutches.
