Breeding season update

So far it looks like I have a few gravid balls. A het albino female gravid from an albino male, at least one female carrying a spider clutch, and one possible het genetic stripe female I’m trying to prove out.

I’m also suspecting that I have a gravid jungle carpet python. I hadn’t actually seen any copulation and had thought that the male might have been a little young to breed, but the female he was paired with is off feed and has that look to her body like she’s developing eggs.

I started pairing the colubrids today. I had debated on whether to breed them at all this season, but I decided to go ahead since I gave them all last year off anyway. I’ve got the striped albino cal kings, a very neat pair of albino nelsoni, and my locality okeetees together now. I’ll begin pairing the western hognose tonight or tomorrow.

    Congrats on the season. What about the parents of the clown? You’d posted earlier that you might try them. Just wondering if there were going to be any more like the girl on the homepage of your website.
